Responsible Service Of Alcohol

RSA Course

Responsible Service Of Alcohol in Australia is a very important concept in the hospitality industry. The Australian and State Governments have put into place a licensing law for those involved in supplying and serving alcohol. This is to ensure that the safety of those on a licensed premises is the number one priority of licensees, and all staff members dealing with alcohol. An RSA course aims to provide staff with the skills and knowledge to deal with all situations that can occur when serving liquor. An RSA course allows staff to serve alcohol in a licensed premises and is a requirement by law in Australia.
