    Default Bar/Waitress Work in Australia

    I've decided to perhpaps get a better feel for a what a place is like to work in by starting off as part of the bar staff or waitress.

    Since there's not a lot of choice here in Tassie, I thought I'd try e-mailing and/or phoning some of the clubs around Australia and finding out what requirements if any there would be.
    However I think I may have come across one already as having done my RSA which I understood to be valid nationwide, may now be only based upon state by state so I may have to renew it where ever I end up.
    But in the grand scheme that's only a small worry, made even smaller by the fact that I believe you can test for your QLD valid RSA online/by mail. As for the other states a little more research maybe.

    How is the best way to get a job in bar in a club, approaching directly or are they like so many places farming the jobs out to agencies?

    just walk in and say hi. a lot of places will hire on approachability and look, so if you apply vis mail or phone, they're just going to ask you to come in anyway. jump on a plane and make your way to melbourne, they are always hiring bar staff. you have heaps of clubs to choose from to suit your taste. if you go to somwhere like spearmint rhino or the mens gallery, the waitresses can earn up to a few hundred dollars in tips per night. as far as i'm concerned, your rsa should be valid in melbourne but don't quote me on it.

    Thankyou April for that advice.

    I'm just tryign to figure out the best way of checkign on RSA's and there validity by state.
    I'd like to have it before I front up anywhere, ratehr than turn up and then have to try and get it.

    I feel a little googling coming on.

    ooh guess what! i just noticed at work that there's a 28 day leeway for not having an RSA. you could get a job, then get your RSA thru the company. my club's doing it at the moment. they asked all the staff who don't have RSA's to put their name down on a list, then everyone can do the course at a discount price via the club. that's how i did mine a few years ago with my old work.

    Oh wow! That might be the way to go, if it's still possible. I may have to look into it some more.

    Still trying to decide how best to make the transition.
