Australia | National & State-based law

While some obligations call for accredited credentials, many are met through non-accredited training on legislated refresh cycles. Allara Global delivers the non-accredited knowledge whilst our sister RTO, Allara Learning, can provide the accredited.

National law, state rules, one training partner

Australian hospitality compliance runs on two levels at once — national legislation and state-based rules that shift across every state and territory. It also draws a line between accredited credentials, like a Food Safety Supervisor, which must come from a registered training organisation, and the non-accredited training that sits alongside them, each with its own legislated refresh cycle.

Allara Global delivers that non-accredited side: the compliance knowledge your team needs, mapped to the legislation and kept current. Where an accredited credential is required, our sister company Allara Learning — a registered training organisation — provides it, so you're covered end to end. And because an RTO sits in the family, our courses are built by qualified hospitality educators who keep compliance and legislation front of mind, not bolted on after the fact.

Allara Global Compliance Courses

Our compliance courses are built the way qualified educators build learning — grounded in the legislation itself and shaped with subject-matter experts, so the knowledge is right and the way it's taught lands on the floor.

Australia's WHS duties are set and enforced state by state — a different regulator in every jurisdiction — and now extend to psychosocial risks alongside the physical hazards of kitchen, bar, and floor. Allara's training helps your team recognise and manage those risks on shift.
First-aid and emergency duties sit across WHS regulations and separate building and fire-safety laws, and the real test isn't a plan on file — it's people who can act in the first critical minutes. Allara's training builds that readiness into your team.
Responsible service of alcohol, and the rules for gaming machines where you run them, differ in every state and territory — different Acts, regulators, and cards. Where an accredited RSA or gaming credential is required, Allara Learning delivers it; Allara Global covers the knowledge around it, from responsible service to drink-spiking awareness.
The national Food Standards Code sets the baseline, administered through each state's Food Act, with accurate allergen communication a distinct duty on top. Allara Learning delivers the accredited Food Safety Supervisor credential; Allara Global builds the everyday food-handler and allergen knowledge your team relies on.
Venues carry a dense layer of obligations for how people are treated — harassment and bullying, equal opportunity, and modern slavery across the supply chain — set federally and reinforced state by state. Allara's training embeds respectful, inclusive, and lawful conduct day to day.
Every venue holds guest and staff data under privacy law, and those with gaming carry anti-money- laundering duties to AUSTRAC on top. Allara's training gives your team the working knowledge to handle data responsibly and meet those duties.
