What is RSA? And why do we need it?

A Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA – SITHFAB201) certificate is required for any person who is going into the liquor industry in Australia.  If you want to work in a liquor licensed premises where you will be selling, supplying, or serving alcoholic beverages you must have successfully completed your RSA training.
