Frequently Asked Questions
What is RSA, and why is it important for my business?
RSA stands for Responsible Service of Alcohol. It’s a mandatory certification for anyone serving or supplying alcohol in licensed venues across Australia, such as bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants, and airlines.
An RSA ensures staff understand how to serve alcohol responsibly, minimise harm, and comply with liquor laws. Employing someone without a valid RSA not only increases legal risk but can also lead to fines, licence breaches, and reputational damage for your business.
How does CheckWorkRights assist in managing RSA compliance?
CheckWorkRights streamlines RSA compliance by facilitating collection of an RSA certificate, presenting it to a designated manager for review and acceptance, and then tracking expiry date if applicable and managing upcoming renewals process directly with the employee.
CheckWorkRights also provides a centralised dashboard and a weekly summary report segmented by venue or business unit to monitor collection progress and certification statuses across all locations. This creates a single source of truth for RSA compliance in case of an audit or spot check.
Do RSA certifications expire, and how are renewals handled?
RSA certification requirements vary by state. For instance, in Victoria, while the RSA certificate does not expire, it needs to be refreshed every three years. CheckWorkRights tracks these requirements and sends timely reminders to both employees and managers when refresher courses or renewals are due. See the article here for more details.
Can I access RSA compliance data for specific venues or departments?
Yes. CheckWorkRights offers segmented reporting, allowing managers to view RSA compliance data relevant to their venue or team. This ensures each manager has visibility over their area’s compliance status without unnecessary noise.
How does the system handle employees working across multiple venues?
CheckWorkRights allows for the segmentation of employee data by venue or business unit. Even if someone works across multiple sites, their RSA compliance status is visible and manageable in each relevant location.
How are RSA documents verified within the system?
Because RSA certifications are issued by a wide range of approved course providers — and there’s no central body for verifying them — it’s up to employers to confirm that documents are valid and compliant. CheckWorkRights makes this easier by allowing designated verifiers within your organisation to review and visually validate the documents against guidelines, ensuring only certifications that match the name of the employee are accepted and recorded.
What happens during an audit or spot check by authorities?
In the event of an audit or spot check, managers can quickly access up-to-date digital RSA registers and employee certifications via the CheckWorkRights platform. This ensures you can demonstrate full compliance immediately.
Is it possible to integrate CheckWorkRights with our existing HR systems?
Absolutely. CheckWorkRights supports integrations with various HRIS and ATS platforms, enabling seamless data flow and reducing manual admin.
