Since 2005 the Liquor Act 1992 and related legislation has gone through some of the most significant changes in the history of the Queensland liquor industry including the 17 Point Plan, State-wide 3am lockout, the introduction of annual license fees, mandatory RSA and RMLV training and bans on glass and full strength alcohol at major events. Bans on glass in high risk venues and a significant reduction in late night trading hours are also currently being considered. The need for expert advice, compliance auditing, staff and management training, major event planning, and assistance with liquor license applications has arguably never been greater.

RSA Liquor Professionals provides licensees with a complete suite of compliance, licensing, training and consultancy services to ensure compliance with the Liquor Act 1992 and related legislation at a time of unprecedented legislative change within the Liquor Industry.
