SITHFAB004A Provide food and beverage service

Supersededtraining.gov.au: supersededNonEquivalent

The currency period for SITHFAB004A ended on 16 January 2013 — 13 years ago. It names one replacement below, with the equivalence it declares for each.

Transition clockClosed to new enrolments

New enrolments are not permitted from 18 January 2014 — one year from the date the replacement was included on the National Register (s 14(1)(a)(i) of the National VET Regulator (Compliance Standards for NVR RTOs and Fit and Proper Person Requirements) Instrument 2025 (F2025L00355, in force 1 July 2025)), or from a later date if ASQA has approved otherwise for your organisation.

Learners already enrolled have no fixed deadline: they complete the product and are issued their AQF certification, or transfer to the replacement, in a timely manner (ASQA guidance, read live 25 August 2026).

The same date closes a second obligation: under s 7(2)(c) of the same instrument, advertising may refer to a superseded product only while it is on scope and new enrolments are permitted. When enrolments stop, the course page advertising it stops being permitted too — and if ASQA approves a later enrolment date, that moves with it.

Where the register points next

Each step below is one supersession training.gov.au publishes between two products. The label on the rail is the equivalence the register declares for that step — not our reading of it.

What the register says changed

These are the mapping notes training.gov.au attaches to each supersession, quoted as the register writes them. They are the only public record of what actually changed between two versions.

  • THHBFB03BSITHFAB004Aequivalent31 December 2010

    The register records this supersession but attaches no note on what changed.

  • SITHFAB004ASITHFAB307not equivalent17 January 2013

    Title changed to better reflect the intent and content of the unit. Duplication of tasks covered in holistic unit SITHIND301 Work effectively in hospitality service removed. Unit refocussed to cover the technical skills required to provide table services of food and alcoholic beverages. Significant change to all facets of the unit. One prerequisite unit removed. SITXFSA101 Use hygienic practices for food safety retained as a prerequisite. SITHFAB201 Provide responsible service of alcohol added as a prerequisite.

Is SITHFAB004A on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether SITHFAB004A sits on your own scope today, or what else on that scope has moved without anyone noticing. Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

Public code, nothing else. We read your live scope from training.gov.au and answer here — nothing is stored unless you ask us to watch it.

Whether a supersession requires anything of you, and what, sits with you and your regulator. This page maps what the register records; it does not make that judgement. If the difference between an equivalent and a non-equivalent replacement is the question, we wrote it up in equivalent vs not equivalent.

Where SITHFAB004A is used

training.gov.au lists SITHFAB004A inside 13 training products, none of them current. Every one of them is below, with the register's own core or elective flag for SITHFAB004A in that product.

Products no longer current 13 listed

The register still records SITHFAB004A inside these, but it no longer recommends them as current. They are here because a scope history or an old enrolment can still point at them.

The rule itself is item 14 of F2025L00355, and ASQA publishes the extensions it has granted. Read on 27 August 2026 UTC. Every code, title, date, status and equivalence flag on this page is the register's; nothing here is estimated or inferred, and where the register publishes nothing we say so.
