determine if you have the knowledge and skills to complete tasks to industry standards within the workplace.
Your trainer/assessor will help you throughout this task and it is your responsibility to provide enough
evidence to justify a competent decision by the trainer/assessor. If you do not understand the questions or
what is required, ask your trainer/assessor for assistance. For group assessments, all students are to contribute
to the assessment tasks. You can work in groups up to a maximum of four people.
You are to complete all tasks by the due date and assessments must have a coversheet attached. If you think
you do not have enough time to complete the tasks by the due date, discuss with the trainer/assessor the
reasons of why you cannot submit on time.

Writing your responses


When answering questions, ensure that your answers are detailed enough to so the assessor can draw a
conclusion that you have the knowledge and/or skills to demonstrate competency. Handwritten answers must
be written in blue or black pen. When producing reports, ensure that your project has a title page, table of
contents, page numbers, reference list, ensuring that your answers thoroughly match the questions asked.
Answer all questions in your own words to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work or
ideas and saying that it your own work. Sources of work must be properly referenced, outlining the source of
your ideas. Penalties may include having to resubmit the assessment task again, repeating the Unit of
competency, or for repeat plagiarism, expulsion from Australian College of Hospitality & Business
Management.

Marking of Assessments
On submission of your assessment will be marked for a result of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Yet Satisfactory
(NYS). If you receive a NYS result, you will be asked to redo the tasks again. To achieve a competent result with
this unit, all tasks need to be completed and marked as satisfactory. Your trainer/assessor will provide
feedback to you on each task, outlining where you must improve to achieve a Satisfactory (S) result. When all
tasks are marked as Satisfactory (S), you will receive a result of Competent (C) for this unit otherwise, you will
be marked Not Yet Competent (NYC). Assessments submitted to the trainer/assessor after the due date may
not be accepted, and you may have to pay a resubmission fee / adjustment may apply.

Students with Special Needs

If leaners/learners have any special needs (e.g. physical disability, learning difficulty) regarding assessment,
they should be directed to discuss these with the Course Coordinator. The college will endeavour to make all
possible and reasonable adjustments to any aspect of assessment in order to address those needs. Some
examples of additional support could include:

 Language, literacy and numeracy (LLN)


 Assistive technology
 Additional materials or tutorials
 Assistance in using technology for online delivery components.

Reasonable adjustment

Reasonable adjustment refers to any modification made to the learning environment, certification
requirements, training delivery or assessment method to help learners with a disability access and participate
in education and training on the same basis as those without disability (IBSA, 2015). The Disability Standards
for Education 2005 were formed under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. They clarify the obligations of
training providers to ensure that learners who have a disability are able to access and participate in education
and training on the same basis as those without disability.

Some examples of reasonable adjustments could include:

Australian English Colleges t/a Australian College of Hospitality and Business Management
Provider Code: 45215 | CRICOS Provider Code 03630A
 Personal support services, e.g. a reader, Auslan interpreter, a scribe
 assistive technology or special equipment, e.g. screen readers, magnifiers, alternative keyboards
 modifying the presentation method, e.g. visual, oral, print, electronic
 adjustments to timeframes, e.g. providing materials prior to class, extended time limits
 adjustment of the physical environment, e.g. specific furniture, arrangement of classroom.

The determination of “reasonableness” requires judgement that must take into account the impact on the RTO
and the need to maintain the integrity of the qualification. While reasonable adjustments can be made to the
ways in which evidence of performance is gathered and demonstrated, the criteria for making Competent/Not
Yet Competent decisions (and/or awarding grades) should not be altered in any way. That is to say, the
standards expected should be the same irrespective of the group and/or individual being assessed (Disability
Standards for Education 2005).

Skill Recognition and Credit Transfer

Appropriate credit(s) may be granted to eligible students against each unit of competency on presentation of
evidence of successful completion of the same unit in an equivalent or higher qualification. Under the
Australian Qualifications Framework, this qualification recognises competencies achieved as part of a
Nationally Recognised Qualification from other institutes or universities.

Students may also apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by providing evidence that they have the
required skills and knowledge in the specific areas of competency through work/industry experience and/or
completed eligible assessments in equivalent or higher qualification.
Please refer to college’s RPL/Credit Transfer Policy for more information and applicable procedures. The policy
is available either through the faculty coordinator or college’s website

Academic Policies and Procedures

Applicable policies and procedure related to this course including plagiarism, assessments, appeals and
complaints, can be found with the course coordinator as well as in the “Policies and Procedures” section of the
college’s website.

Submission of Work

All the written works must be submitted in a hard copy, and an additional soft/electronic copy if required by
the trainer/assessor, with an accompanying “Assessment Cover Sheet”. Each Assessment Cover Sheet should
be signed by the student and must contain student details and date of submission.

Material submitted for assessment—Word processed assignments, reports, essays, projects, etc. must contain
student’s name, ID (if available). Within the context of these assessment tasks, the assessor fulfils the role of
client, manager or supervisor, as applicable. Work submitted for “approval” within this context must
demonstrate care and attention to detail, such that the student inspires confidence that the work is being
undertaken competently.

Where soft copy/electronic files are submitted, students are encouraged to name the files according to
established procedure. This would typically include a course or unit code, assessment or submission code, and
in the case of multiple files an alphanumeric identifier. Multiple files may also be required to be submitted
within an enclosing folder (with similar, appropriate naming conventions) or archive format—e.g. zip. Follow
submission guidelines in each assessment task for specific instructions.

Section 1.3. Access regulatory information relevant to specific business operation.

Anti-discrimination In Australia, it is illegal to discriminate against people


based on a variety of protected characteristics. They are:
Race, Color, Sex, and Sexual Preference

No matter the size of the business, it is forbidden for an


employer to treat a worker unfairly. This comprises
people employed full-time, part-time, or on a temporary
basis, as well as those on probation, apprenticeships,
learners, and those with set job duties or time
commitments. Additionally, it is illegal to reject a
candidate for employment because of one of the
aforementioned qualities.

Australian Consumer Law The national legislation regulating ethical business


especially in regard to refunds, practises and consumer rights is known as the Australian
exchanges and cancellations, Consumer Law (ACL). The ACL went into effect on
terms and conditions of January 1, 2011, and it encourages fair trade and offers
quotations and consumer protection. The Australian Competition and Consumer
contracts Commission (ACCC) is responsible for overseeing the
ACL, which is upheld in all Australian courts. It addresses
unjust contract conditions, consumer rights when
purchasing goods and services, the implementation of
penalties, the safety of products, and uninvited customer
contracts (such as door-to-door sales). It is valid to all
Australian businesses, along with all states and
territories.

Provider Code: 45215 | CRICOS Provider Code 03630A
Contracts An arrangement among two or more entities is a
contract. They have legal validity and are enforced under
the law. Employees are protected by the ACL from unjust
contractual terms, but they should generally thoroughly
examine contracts prior accepting them and retain
copies.
Contracts must adhere to minimal requirements, and
employees cannot be treated worse than they would be if
they were working under awards.
When determining if a clause, requirement, or other
aspect of a contract may be unfair, there are a variety of
variables to take into account. A term's fairness must be
evaluated in light of the entire contract.
Employer superannuation A superannuation contribution of 9.5 percent of an
contributions employee's ordinary time income must be made by the
employer under the superannuation guarantee if the
employee receives $450 or more pre taxes in a monthly
and is: - above 18; or - under 18 and works more than
30 hours a week.
This is true for both full-time and part-time employees as
well as some temporary workers.
Superannuation must be deposited into the owner's
allocated account at least every three months.

Taxation Tax laws are governed by the Australian Taxation Office


(ATO), however there are other types of taxes in Australia
that can be paid at the regional, state, or federal levels.
The ATO can offer direction, counsel, and policy regarding
tax-related issues. Applying for tax deductions may be
possible for hospitality employees. These often include
food, transportation, attire, instruction, and tools of the
trade.

Public liability and duty of care This protects a company from financial risks including
allegations of bodily harm or damage to property a third
party sustains as a consequence of the company's
operations. However, if an organisation engages in
dangerous or risky behaviours, it may jeopardise its very
own safety and well-being as well as that of others.

Work health and safety All workers' welfare, health, and safety are all protected
by it. It also includes anyone else who might be impacted
by the work a company does. In order to "defend the
health and safety of workers and other people by avoiding

Food Standards Australia New preserves customer health and security in reference to
Zealand Act 1991 food and food items. In Australia and New Zealand, it
pertains to all food that is sold or processed for sale. The
following are covered by this code:
General food standards: such as labeling laws, limitations
on chemical and microbial pollutants, and specifications
for food processing.
 Food Product Standards: The content of cereals, fruit,
vegetables, milk products, drinks, and speciality foods is
outlined in the Food Product Standards.
Liquor licensing and RSA For the wholesaling sale of liquor, each state and territory
is required to have a licence and laws that address:
Who is allowed to sell and provide alcohol;
The business practises of licenced locations;
Infractions and responsibilities of licensees;
Disciplinary proceedings and punishments

Privacy Act 1988 A person's name, signature, location, mobile number,


birth date, medical data, bank account information, and
views about that person are all considered to be personal
information that must be handled legally. The majority of
hotels employ a customer relationship management
(CRM) platform; consider how much information they will
have about guests arriving and those who have already
stayed there.
Responsible Conduct of Gaming Gambling is not available in all areas of hospitality, but if
you work in one and supply or sell gambling items, you
must complete responsible gaming training in order to
comply with the law. Once more, this training is state-
based.

The CA City Hotel would want to host a launch party to advertise their capabilities in this region.
Included in the launch celebration are:
 Regions with alcohol permits
 Stage with musicians and performers
 Food carts
 Fireworks
 A miniature casino with roulette and blackjack tables.
The launch will happen on a Friday night from 6:00 pm until 1:00 am. All the  pertinent compliance
information has to be launched in order to make sure that all laws and regulations are followed. The
General Manager wants to see CA City Hotel's commitment to best practises and compliance
continue since he is proud of it.
For this, they want information regarding compliance with laws and licensing, of local, state,
territory and commonwealth laws, specifically:
 Anti-discrimination, especially provisions for equal employment opportunity (EEO) and
harassment: In Australia, it is illegal to discriminate against people based on a variety of
protected characteristics. They are: Race, Color, Sex, and Sexual Preference. No matter the size
of the business, it is forbidden for an employer to treat a worker unfairly. This comprises people
employed full-time, part-time, or on a temporary basis, as well as those on probation,
apprenticeships, learners, and those with set job duties or time commitments. Additionally, it is
illegal to reject a candidate for employment because of one of the aforementioned qualities. It
should be made clear that no one is subject to discrimination in any way at CA City Hotel.
People should be hired and promoted based on their skills, not because of their ancestry, age,
sex, or other characteristics.
 Employer superannuation contributions: A superannuation contribution of 9.5 percent of an
employee's ordinary time income must be made by the employer under the superannuation
guarantee if the employee receives $450 or more pre taxes in a monthly and is: - above 18; or -
under 18 and works more than 30 hours a week. This is true for both full-time and part-time
employees as well as some temporary workers. Superannuation must be deposited into the
owner's allocated account at least every three months. The management of CA City Hotel
should ensure that the superannuation is donated on time and in the appropriate amount. The
laws and regulations are strictly obeyed if this is done.
 Contracts: An arrangement among two or more entities is a contract. They have legal validity
and are enforced under the law. Employees are protected by the ACL from unjust contractual

terms, but they should generally thoroughly examine contracts prior accepting them and retain
copies.
Contracts must adhere to minimal requirements, and employees cannot be treated worse than
they would be if they were working under awards. When determining if a clause, requirement,
or other aspect of a contract may be unfair, there are a variety of variables to take into account.
A term's fairness must be evaluated in light of the entire contract.
 Fair Work Act 2009: A range of adverse measures are described in the Fair Work Act of 2009.
Adverse action may comprise a course of conduct that is illegal if it is motivated by
discrimination. An employee may be fired, injured at work, or have their position changed to
their disadvantage and so on are examples of unfavourable acts.
 Australian Consumer Law (ACL): The national legislation regulating ethical business practises
and consumer rights is known as the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). The ACL went into
effect on January 1, 2011, and it encourages fair trade and offers protection. The Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is responsible for overseeing the ACL, which
is upheld in all Australian courts. It addresses unjust contract conditions, consumer rights when
purchasing goods and services, the implementation of penalties, the safety of products, and
uninvited customer contracts (such as door-to-door sales). It is valid to all Australian
businesses, along with all states and territories.
 Environmental protection: The Environmental Protection Authority was created in accordance
with the Environment Protection Act of 1986. The Act calls for the administration, protection,
conservation, and protection of the environment, as well as the avoidance, management, and
mitigation of pollution and other environmental damage. If a company follows best business
practices for corporate social responsibility, it will have strict reporting procedures in place,
facilities for identifying environmental risks, and minimum effect procedures for things like
trash and noise.
 Food safety and food protection: Food quality, security, and safety are the three main focuses of
the multidisciplinary field of food safety and protection. Food safety concerns include food
allergenicity, foodborne illnesses, and microbiological dangers in food items. Nobody wants to
become ill after eating the meal, thus this is very important and should be taken care of.
 Liquor licensing: For the wholesaling sale of liquor, each state and territory is required to have
a licence and laws that address:
 Who is allowed to sell and provide alcohol;
 The business practises of licenced locations;

 Infractions and responsibilities of licensees;
 Disciplinary proceedings and punishments
To sell the alcohol, the business needs to obtain a licence. This is very important and needs to
be adhered to. Government sanctions will be applied if you sell alcohol without a licence.
 Public liability, insurance and duty of care: Public liability, duty of care and insurance is very
must essential in order to conduct the launch program.
 Responsible conduct of gambling: Gambling should be conducted responsibly else there will be
problem and chaos in the launch program which may lead to physical violance, untolerable
behavior and so on.
 Work, Health and Safety: All people, including clients and employees, should have their work,
health, and safety taken care of. Nobody's health ought to be in danger. Throughout the event,
this should be handled
If there is non-compilance including the legal responsibilies and liabilities of the CA City Hotel
then they have to face the risk, penalties and possible consequences. They run the possibility of
having to close their hotel and having their license revoked. They can also be subject to a fine
for this. The severity of the repercussions is determined by the laws that are broken.
It is best to speak with a lawyer for legal counsel as they are the ones who have the most
knowledge on the subject. They can provide us with the relevant, reliable information.

1.5 Explain how you could use the following methods or opportunities to receive updated information
on laws and licencing requirements.

Read the content from your SITXGLC001 Research and Comply with Regulatory Requirements
Learner Guide.
Hint
Section 4.1. Identify and use a range of opportunities to maintain knowledge of current
regulatory requirements.

Discussions with experienced This could be a teammate, a boss, or an outsider that the
industry personnel organisation has hired to contribute their expertise. Ask if
you are uncertain. Being safe is preferable to being sorry.

Networking with colleagues The hotel sector provides great opportunities for
and/or suppliers networking. Take advantage of these opportunities to
talk with like-minded professionals in the same field.
They could be able to provide advice on dealing a specific
area of conformity, like tracking and screening minor
drinkers. Another excellent source of information is the
suppliers.

Participating in industry Associations frequently provide an accreditation service


accreditation or system that offers industry best practises and
compliance issues. Accredited programmes must exhibit
that they adhere to established norms and standards as
well as possess professional expertise.

Participating in industry seminars Seminars are a useful tool for knowledge maintenance.
Occasionally, after introducing new legislation or
regulations, governing authorities will ask business to
attend. By doing so, they can help spread the word and
make their point very obvious.

Membership of professional Being a member of an industry association is
industry association advantageous. They can inform you of the most recent
developments in the market as well as keep you up to
date on compliance.

Participating in training courses An organisation has two options for conducting training in
their area of expertise: either they hire an outside trainer
or use one of their own internal employees. Any
organisation should regularly include compliance training
into daily operations. Attending training sessions is a
great way to maintain compliance knowledge current and

Additional authority: Manager, Local authority, Government

Scope: This policy applies to all the staffs, members and the food vendors who are working there at the
event. This is also relevant to the CA City Hotel employees working outside.

Responsibility: The General Manager is responsible in order to enforce this policy.

Audits and Inspections: Going out into the field to check is how audits and inspections are conducted.
Monitoring should take place in person at the location. If in person monitoring is done, then it is considered
more effective and appropriate.

Policies and Procedures:

 The hiring of employees should be exclusively based on their skills. No employee should receive more
or less benefits because of his or her membership in a certain community, age group, sex, or other
category.

 The work health and safety of the CA City Hotel employees should be prioritized. They should not be
harmed in any way because of this event.

 Priority should be given to protecting the privacy of surrounding residents. The event shouldn't in any
way disrupt them. At the appointed hour, the food vendors must close, and after that, the rubbish must
be removed. No music speakers are permitted since they might disturb the surrounding residents.

3.4

3.5 The launch has now taken place and was a success. It was an extremely hot day and many people were
making full use of the bar facilities where full strength beer and wine was being served. However, there
was an incident that occurred that needs to be addressed. There was a patron who was identified as
intoxicated, however, one of the bar staff continued to serve him drinks. The supervisor saw this and
she told the patron that he was unable to be served anymore alcohol. The patron became violent and
tried to glass the supervisor. In defending herself the supervisor’s hand was cut quite badly.

As a result of this she will be off work for at least two (2) weeks, then will be able to return to work on
adjusted duties. She is going to apply for workers’ compensation.

Whilst CA City Hotel has an RSA policy and procedure in place, this is not the first time an intoxicated person
has injured a person at the hotel. It has been reported from previous incidences that junior staff members
were left unsupervised and that the kitchen staff wanted to get home so shut the kitchen early on numerous
occasions.

After evaluating the hotel’s RSA operations, you need to write and implement a continuous improvement
plan for the food and beverage team along with updates to the RSA policy and procedure. This will initially
be sent via email.

Write an email to all food and beverage employees:

 Re-iterating their roles and responsibilities for legal compliance with RSA

 With suggestions as to how outdoor events could be better managed in regard to the management
of RSA

 Including methods as to how managers and supervisors will continuously evaluate food and
beverage operations for non-compliance and how any modifications will be implemented

Outlining how plans, policies and procedures will be continuously reviewed to ensure RSA compliance.

Dear Food and Beverage Team,

      As a reminder, please be familiar with the Responsible Service of Alcohol policy and
practise at CA City Hotel. The Food and Beverage staff is in charge of providing customers
with alcohol within reasonable limits. You should all be aware of the penalties that may
apply to you if they are not followed.

All outdoor events must be carefully supervised. The maximum amount of alcohol that any
one food seller may provide to a customer should be clearly stated to all of the vendors.
We should be clear about this. Additionally, it is our duty to ensure that our gathering
won't cause the neighbors any noise-related issues.
Supervisors and managers are in charge of ensuring that all policies and procedures have
been properly maintained and regulated. Any inconvenience should be reported as soon
as possible to the appropriate authority.
We will meet to discuss this, and at the end of the meeting, changes will be made
according to the discussion on the meeting. The date, time, and location will be chosen
later and announced.
We appreciate you reading this and spending the time.
Kind Regards,
Your Name
