RST Responsible Service of Tobacco — VIP Certification Exam

RST — The Responsible Service of Tobacco (RST) certification is a mandatory competency-based assessment for tobacco retailers across Australian states and territories, governed by state-specific Tobacco Acts (e.g., Victoria's Tobacco Act 1987, Queensland's Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Act 1998). It tests knowledge of age verification, display restrictions, plain packaging law, point-of-sale prohibitions, and retailer penalties. This exam mirrors the knowledge domains of accredited RST training programs and assessments.
