Why Is This Training Course Mandatory?

The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) is responsible for overseeing the Liquor Control Act 1988—ensuring the safe, responsible, and lawful management of licensed venues across WA. To promote best practice and legal compliance, the DLGSC has made it a requirement that all Licensees, Unrestricted Approved Managers, and Duty Managers must hold an Approved Manager certification.

Job Trainer Australia is proud to be a WA Government approved training provider, offering the official online course that helps managers meet the DLGSC’s mandatory knowledge requirements.

Prerequisite: Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) Training

This evidence should be a Statement of Attainment in SITHFAB002, SITHFAB201, SITHFAB009A, or THHBFB09B, which can be uploaded for processing.

If you do not have a RSA certificate, you can purchase the RSA & Approved Manager Combo number 9, click here.
