Credentials / Responsible Service of Alcohol
RSA Certificate in Victoria
Victoria calls it a RSA Certificate. Elsewhere in Australia the same thing is a responsible service of alcohol.
Issued by Liquor Control Victoria.
What we have checked
- Moving here from another state
- A bridging course, which is free Liquor Control Victoria directs interstate certificate holders to the bridging course. An interstate certificate on its own is not enough.
Still to check
- Whether Victorian certificates expire — most sources say a refresher every three years, one says there is no expiry, and that conflict is not resolved
- Course fees
True wherever you are
- Does your RSA travel with you
- Usually not, and this is the question worth asking before you move Every state sets its own rules. Queensland is the most accommodating, New South Wales and Victoria both want you to do a bridging course before you can work there permanently, and a certificate that is fine in one state can be worthless in the next.
The rest of your tickets
A rsa certificate is one of several you probably carry, each on its own clock. See which of yours lapses first, or register and we hold them all and chase the dates.
