EOI for Subsidised Accredited Responsible Service of Alcohol Course

18 August 2025

We get a lot of requests about Responsible Services of Alcohol (RSA) courses for sporting club volunteers, and I am happy to say, you can now register your EOI for the upcoming RSA to be held on Monday 15th September.

By providing subsidised options for our community sporting club volunteers, it supports appropriate alcohol management and legislation at clubs and therefore benefits our community to reduce and minimise alcohol harm. It is also recommended your club become a Good Sports club, if not already, or register for the Monash Health Healthy Sports Club initiative.

This RSA course will be subsidised 50% by Cardinia Shire Council meaning the club / volunteer pays - $35 pp payable on the night. Please check with your club about payment as some clubs will reimburse individuals as a way of supporting volunteers.

To ensure fairness and access across all Cardinia Shire sporting clubs, there will be a limit of 2 people per club. If this course doesn’t fill by the EOI cutoff date – 31st August, those registered as part of the EOI as additional people from the one club will be contacted and offered a position.
Clubs who are engaged in Cardinia Shire’s Club Development Workshops or a Monash Health Healthy Sports Club participant will receive priority. (make sure you check out what is currently available and has been sent to your club via email)

There is a maximum of 25 people for this course, this is based on regulatory requirements.

A link will be sent early September for formal registration - compulsory to receive your certification, this must be filled out prior to your attendance at the course. If you are offered a place and can no longer attend, please make contact so those waiting to attend can be notified and we can ensure the course is filled.

In the case of over subscription Cardinia Shire Council will consider hosting another course at a later date.
