Frequently Asked Questions
What Is an RSA Certificate?

An RSA certificate, also known as a Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate, is a qualification required by individuals working in the hospitality industry in Adelaide. It demonstrates that the holder has the necessary knowledge and skills to serve alcohol responsibly and in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.

How do I get an RSA in Adelaide?

To obtain an RSA certificate in Adelaide, individuals need to complete an accredited Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) course. This course can be completed in person or online through registered training organizations (RTOs) in each state or territory. Upon successful completion of the course, a nationally recognized RSA certificate is issued.

Who Needs an RSA Certificate?

In Adelaide, anyone involved in the sale, supply, or service of alcohol is required to hold a valid RSA certificate. This includes bartenders, waitstaff, and venue managers working in licensed premises such as bars, restaurants, and bottle shops.

How long does an RSA last?

The legislation governing Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training varies from state to state. In some states like Queensland, RSA certificates have no expiration date, while in others, RSA certificates do expire and participants need to complete an RSA refresher course.

RSA legislation is subject to change, which means that RSA certificates which were once set to expire may have become permanent. To learn more about RSA legislation in your state and whether you need to take an RSA refresher course, please check with your state government.

Is an RSA nationally recognised?

An RSA certificate is not valid outside of the state it was earned in. Unfortunately, there is no universal interstate RSA qualification in Adelaide.

Is an RSA Certificate transferable to another state?

Yes, most of the time it is possible to transfer your RSA qualification to another state. This is known as RSA bridging. Depending on the state you are transferring to, you may simply be able to apply online, but in other instances taking a separate, RSA bridging course may be necessary.

Can I Earn an RSA Certificate Online?

Yes, you can complete an RSA course online in most Adelaide states and territories. However, each state has different regulations regarding online RSA training. For example, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland accept online RSA certificates, while New South Wales requires in-person training through an approved provider. Before enrolling, check your state’s specific requirements to ensure your RSA certificate is valid for your location.

Can my RSA Certificate be revoked?
This again depends on which state you earned your RSA in. However, in some states, such as NSW, you can lose your RSA if your break liquor laws. Check with your local state government for further information.
What happens if I lose my RSA Certificate?

If you lose your RSA statement of attainment you can request a new one. Depending on your state, you will either need to contact the state’s governing RSA body or the registered training organisation with whom you completed your RSA training.

What Qualifications Complement an RSA Certificate?

An RSA qualification suits anyone who works in the hospitality industry, and there are plenty of beneficial courses that can be earned through our registered training organisation.

To help increase your chances of employment, you could combine your RSA certificate with an accredited barista certificate, a Responsible Service of Gambling certification or it’s a great certificate to have if you’re completing your Security Training.
