Do I need to refresh my RSA?
About the RSA
A Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate is required to sell, serve or supply liquor in licensed premises in Victoria.
MSA Training and Professional Development currently offer RSA training online via Zoom on in a face to face class at Monash University in Clayton. Sessions run for 4 hours and certificates are granted to those who successfully complete this training.
Do You Need to Refresh Your RSA?
Yes.
If you are a Victorian RSA holder, you must refresh your RSA every three years after completing your new entrant training. However, some licensed businesses may require that you refresh your RSA more often than every three years.
If you hold a valid interstate RSA certificate, you may apply for a bridging course to have your certificate recognised in Victoria.
Why Do You Need to Refresh Your RSA?
To maintain the validity of your RSA certificate and update your knowledge on responsible service of alcohol.
