This includes bottleshop staff, bar staff, glass collectors, hosts, waiting staff at restaurants, licensees, nominees and managers regardless of the trading hours of the licensed premises. This will ensure coverage of all personnel involved in the sale and supply of liquor, patron service and monitoring.

Currently, Office of Liquor & Gaming Regulation approved Responsible Service of Alcohol RSA training is mandatory for all staff (including security) involved in the sale and supply of alcohol working in licensed premises.

Frequently asked questions:

Does the Liquor Licensing Division's RSA course incorporate 'mutual recognition', 'recognition of prior learning' or a 'bridging course' if I have worked in the industry or done the program before?

No! The LLD RSA course is about understanding the liquor legislation in Queensland and how it applies to and effects licensed premises, employees and patrons in Queensland.
