Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA)
Details
In Sydney and the rest of NSW, it is a mandatory legal requirement to hold valid NSW RSA certificate for licensees and staff who are selling, offering or serving liquor in the establishments with the general, on-premises, late night and packaged liquor licenses.
