"Minister responsible for liquor and gaming, Peter Lawlor MP, will officially launch the Training Assistance Entitlement scheme which will help small licensed community clubs meet new Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training requirements. New laws introduced in 2009 have made RSA training mandatory for staff involved with the service or supply of alcohol in licensed premises. “RSA training is one of a number of important harm minimisation measures the Queensland Government has implemented, providing valuable education to those involved with the service of alcohol,” said Minister Lawlor. From 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010, eligible small community clubs are able to receive up to $85 to help pay for mandatory RSA training."
