Course includes the nationally recognised unit SITHFAB021 Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol, required for staff serving alcohol in licensed venues.
Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training teaches hospitality staff how to safely serve alcohol while complying with Australian liquor licensing laws.
Anyone working in a role where alcohol is sold, served or supplied must understand their responsibilities in preventing intoxication and ensuring alcohol is served responsibly.
The RSA course focuses on practical knowledge that hospitality workers use daily, including identifying intoxication, refusing service appropriately, and managing difficult situations involving alcohol consumption.
Through this training you will learn how to:
• Recognise signs of intoxication
• Understand legal responsibilities under liquor licensing laws
• Refuse service safely and professionally
• Promote responsible alcohol consumption
• Manage difficult or intoxicated patrons
If you’re working in Australia in any role involving the service of alcohol (including bar workers, catering staff, airline personnel, or waiters), you’re required to have formal RSA training. This is part of the federal government’s National alcohol strategy. Under this strategy, state and territory governments are implementing programs and legislation to minimise the negative effects of alcohol on minors and other vulnerable groups within our society. Mandatory training in RSA is just one piece of this larger picture.
The course – officially known as SITHFAB021 Provide responsible service of alcohol and is Nationally Recognised. The training can only be provided by a registered Australian RTO and is designed on a state-by-state basis – working with the specific alcohol regulations in force in each state or territory.
Regardless of the government regulations around it, the core principle of RSA is duty of care – the understanding that managers and staff are responsible for preventing reckless consumption of alcohol wherever possible and discouraging drunk and disorderly behaviour. As part of this, the course provides training on the effects of alcohol on the human body, exactly what a “Standard Drink” is (and why that’s important), and how to refuse alcohol service in a safe and respectful manner.
