General Description

A set of skills to equip an individual to sell, serve or supply alcohol responsibly.

The unit also applies to security staff who monitor customer behaviour and to the licensee who is ultimately responsible for responsible service of alcohol (RSA) management.

Responsible practices must be undertaken wherever alcohol is sold, served, or supplied, including where alcohol samples are served during on-site product tastings.
