The NSW Government has implemented a number of temporary measures due to COVID-19, as to when applicants are required to complete Licensee Training or Advanced Licensee Training. The relevant changes are as follows:-
Existing licensees: Most existing licensees, managers and club secretaries have had their RSA renewal date extended to 30 June 2021. You need to complete Licensee training and/or Advanced Licensee training by that date. You can do your training earlier and avoid an expected increase in demand for face to face training before 30 June 2021. Contact your nearest approved training provider to book a training course.
New liquor licence applicant: If you are a new liquor licence applicant, you must complete RSA training before you apply. If you need to complete Licensee training and/or Advanced Licensee training as well, you now have 12 months from the date your liquor licence is granted to do so. Find out what training you must complete.
Transfer of liquor licence: If you apply for a liquor licence transfer you need to complete Licensee training and/or Advanced Licensee training within 60 days from receiving provisional approval.
Appointment of approved manager or club secretary: If you apply to appoint an approved manager or a club secretary, that person must complete Licensee training and/or Advanced Licensee training within 60 days of the application being lodged.
