Responsible Service of Alcohol

​​​​​Queensland Rail House Policy on the Responsible Service of Alcohol

Queensland Rail prides itself on being a Responsible Server of Alcohol (RSA). 

Queensland Rail team members demonstrate this commitment to responsible service through the implementation of the following House Policy: 

  • All employees who directly work in the sale or supply of alcohol will hold an RSA certificate approved by the Queensland Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OGLR).
  • We will educate our employees on our duty of care through training, communication and supervision.
  • Alcohol (including zero-alcohol beer and wine) will only be served after 10:00am daily, during regular food and beverage service periods and in accordance with Queensland Rail's Liquor Licence conditions.
  • The consumption of BYO (Bring Your Own) alcohol including zero-alcohol beer, wine and spirits are prohibited.
  • Employees are trained and supported by management to request and verify acceptable proof of age from any person they believe may be under 18 years of age.
  • Anyone unable to provide acceptable proof of age will not be served alcohol or zero-alcohol beer and wine.
  • Unduly intoxicated or disorderly persons will be refused service and may be removed from the premises (i.e. train service).
  • Employees are authorised to involve the appropriate authorities where a patron does not follow the direction of an employee acting under their RSA responsibilities.
  • When alcohol is available for consumption, food, low alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic beverages, and free tap water will also be made available.
  • We will only permit the sale of a maximum of two alcoholic beverages per person per transaction.
  • We will not conduct promotions that encourage excessive or rapid drinking.
  • We will not serve a person we know to be stacking drinks.
Queensland Rail management and employees are committed to the enforcement of this policy and will adhere to all conditions as set out in its Liquor Licence.​
