Training Courses for Casual Work in Australia

Training Courses with the Australian Visa Bureau

Hospitality and construction are among the most popular industries for casual and temporary workers in Australia. However, there are mandatory training requirements that need to be met before you can work in these sectors.

All courses involve training and assessment, and it is essential that you complete a course for the industry that you wish to work in. Your prospective employers will request proof that you have completed a course before they employ you, in order to comply with the requisite laws and legislations.

The training requirements differ depending on which Australian state you are working in:

• For New South Wales, we work with The William Angliss Institute, where Visa Bureau clients receive an exclusive 10% discount on all courses with a coupon code!
• For all other Australian states, you can complete an online course before you leave with Quality Hospitality International (QHI), where Visa Bureau clients receive a $10 discount on course bundles and a $5 discount on single courses!

Training courses for New South Wales - The William Angliss Institute

As a Visa Bureau Platinum Card holder, you will receive a 10% discount on any course on The William Angliss Institute website, just go to the shopping cart page once you've added your courses to your cart, and enter the exclusive coupon code 23871922 in the coupon field and click 'Update cart'.

You'll then see the price update with the 10% discount applied so you can complete payment and book your courses! See below for information on a few of the New South Wales training courses offered by The William Angliss Institute.

Bar work - RSA certificate

In NSW, the RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) certificate is compulsory for anyone looking to work in the liquor industry, including licensees, club secretaries, permanent and casual serving staff and security staff. However, it MUST be granted from a Liquor Administration Board approved provider, which includes The William Angliss Institute.

Working around gambling - RCG certificate

The RCG (Responsible Conduct of Gambling) certificate is compulsory for anyone working around poker machines and assist gamblers and gaming patrons. As most bars in Sydney and NSW also have on-site gambling machines, it is necessary to have this certificate too when seeking bar work.

Working with food - Food Safety Supervisors Course

The Food Safety Supervisors Course is compulsory for anyone working in hospitality or retail handling food.

Training courses for all other Australian states - Quality Hospitality International (QHI)
