Liquor Amendment (Requirements

Relating to Training in Responsible

Service of Alcohol) Regulation 2003

under the

Liquor Act 1982

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Liquor Act 1982.

GRANT McBRIDE, M.P.,

Minister for Gaming and Racing

Explanatory note
Recent amendments (made by the Liquor Amendment (Responsible Service of Alcohol Training) Regulation 2003) to the Liquor Regulation 1996 (the principal Regulation) require the licensee of licensed premises, and such staff as are engaged in the retailing of liquor on the premises, to have successfully completed an approved training course in the responsible service of alcohol. This new requirement takes effect on 1 January 2004 for the licensee and any permanent staff, and on 1 July 2004 for any casual staff. Under the amendments, a person who, before 1 January 2004, has successfully completed a training course with respect to the responsible service of alcohol:

(a)	that was approved by the Liquor Administration Board at the time the person completed it, and
(b)	that, as at 1 January 2004, was an approved training course under the principal Regulation,

is taken to hold a recognised certificate in the responsible service of alcohol (a recognised RSA certificate) for the purposes of the principal Regulation and the Registered Clubs Regulation 1996.

The aim of this Regulation is to remove a requirement that persons who conduct an approved training course in the responsible service of alcohol must have attended a seminar conducted by or on behalf of the Liquor Administration Board, and to remove the requirement referred to in paragraph (b) above.
