SPECIAL TRAINING FOR HOSPITALITY STAFF
THE NSW Government has mandated specialised sexual harassment and violence prevention training for all NSW hospitality staff and liquor licence holders, integrated into the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) program. Developed with Good Night Out, the training teaches staff to identify, respond to, and prevent harassment, assault, and drink spiking, while connecting patrons to support services. Updated licensee training includes obligations under Respect@Work legislation. These reforms aim to improve workplace and patron safety, supporting a safer and more inclusive night-time economy.
