While we need to take our RSA responsibilities seriously at all times, the crackdown by authorities on the sale of alcohol to minors should provide further motivation for us as alcohol servers to enforce RSA rules.
If you’re a server of alcohol in Victoria, serving alcohol to a minor could land you a fine of up to $18,200.
Before New Years and Australia Day, police together with inspectors from the Victorian Commission for Gaming an Liquor Regulation embarked on a crackdown, targeting people who serve minors, staff who serve drunk people at pubs and bars, parents buying drinks for their children and venues exceeding their patron limit.
Make sure you have a valid RSA certificate if you’re working in a licenced venue.
