What you need to know about RSA training in Victoria

To sell or serve alcohol at certain licensed venues and stores in Victoria, you need to complete a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) course approved by Liquor Control Victoria (LCV).
The approved RSA course includes information about Victorian liquor laws, drink spiking, harm minimisation strategies and how to recognise, prevent and respond to sexual harassment and assault. To make sure you’re completing an approved course, visit the LCV website https://www.vic.gov.au/approved-rsa-course-providers for a complete list of approved RSA course providers.
