Hospitality jobs - RSA?

[lovebird1985]

Hi there

I am currently a teacher in the UK, 26, planning a year to Oz next year, looking to get about on a working holiday visa. I am looking to pretty much find temporary work in bars, so I'm wondering about the RSA. I know obviously it is necessary but I wondered whether these online versions actually count if you want a proper bar job in one of the big cities? Is it better to do it in person? Also are there any recommended providers?

Also I have plenty of hospitality/bar experience from when I was 16-22, is that too long ago would you reckon? Any general advice on where best to go, as I have no idea, would be welcome!!

Thanks

Hi - just giving your thread a bump given people in Aust will be coming home from work and logging on.

As it has only been 4 years since you did bar work I wouldn't have thought it was too long between jobs to get that type of work again.

Hi there,

From what I recall not all states accept the online version - I'm pretty sure Victoria doesn't, but you might want to check on the state websites. Or maybe someone who knows will be on in a bit ;)

Each State will have their own RSA. Also need the food one as well to work in a pub.
