Great news here, Nationally Accredited Responsible Service of Alcohol online training is accepted in South Australia. You will need to apply to the SA Liquor Licensing Commission to be a “responsible person”, part of this process will be to supply evidence of the national RSA certificate. Once that approval goes through you are issued a “badge” by SA Liquor Licensing Office of the Liquor and Gaming Commissioner . It’s an iconic part of the Australian Working Holiday getting a bar job downunder.
 

How much is a SA RSA Certificate

A real cheapy, the South Australian RSA certificate is just $7.99 online! These will typically give you a certificate that’s only valid in the Northern Territory. If you only fancy working in the NT checkout the hospitality institute of Australia for these cheap courses. Otherwise you have the option of nationally accredited courses which can cost $55. You can find the full list of training provided on the NT My Skills website.
 

How is my SA RSA Certificate Delivered

As the South Australian RSA certificate is completed online providers will mail out the certificate.
 

Extra Requirements

Training providers are required by law to verify your identity. This can be done by simply uploading your ID via their internal system( should work with most providers) There was a new law effective 1 January 2015 that require all RSA certificate students to have a “USI” which means training providers must obtain this information by law. This is typically done during the registration process.
 

Refresher RSA Courses

This situation won’t occur too often as working holiday makers are typically in Australia for under 2 years. In the case you obtain permanent residency or take your second year visa same years later you can do a refresh course to keep your rsa certificate active.
