The NSW liquor laws require that workers hold a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) to work in the liquor industry. Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) is also a mandatory requirement if work duties include gaming machines.
These requirements reflect the importance of ensuring licensees and staff understand their obligations in serving liquor responsibly and the types of strategies that can be implemented to add value to a venue’s operations.
