Frequently Asked Questions

Tourism, Hospitality & Events

  1. Who can I contact for information regarding Tourism, Hospitality & Events at SSV?

    The best contact at SSV for questions relating to Tourism, Hospitality & Events is Emma Robilliard. Emma can be reached at emmar@ssv.org.au or alternatively please check our Contact Us Page for more information.

  2. Who can I contact to undertake the travel agents unit THTSOP20A (Construct normal international fares) or SITTTSL013A (Construct normal international fares)?

    SSV is not a registered training organisation, however we can provide details of some RTO's and TAFE's that you could contact:


  3. Can someone who is under the age of 18 years of age work in a venue selling alcohol?

    A minor cannot be involved in the supply of liquor, except if they are part of a training program that has been approved by the Director of Liquor Licensing. They can, however, be employed to deliver packaged liquor to a person over 18 years of age for consumption off the licensed premises, e.g. a junior staff member carrying a slab of beer out to a customer's car. A minor cannot sell alcohol through a checkout in a licensed supermarket.

    This information was obtained from the Liquor Licensing Victoria website.
