Mandatory training. All staff involved in the service and supply of liquor will require a current certificate in Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training within 30 days of commencing employment.

• For all new staff employed after 1 January 2009 RSA training is compulsory.
• Staff at licensed premises employed prior to 1 January 2009 will have until 30 June 2010 to complete the training.

RSA training for volunteers will not be mandatory provided an RSA-trained individual is reasonably available to supervise. A licensee or permittee must take reasonable steps to ensure that this supervision is provided.
