Food Safety Training

Everybody involved in the food selling/serving process is required to complete mandatory Safe Food Handling training before any kind of food service. This includes everything from giving away cupcakes to cooking BBQ's. You will be required to have a copy of your certificate on hand at any event where you are working with food.

The free online course and PDF certificate are available here

Alcohol Guidelines

Where alcohol is to be consumed, a completed Application for Limited Licence form (Liquor Licensing Act 1997) must accompany the FM 112 Student Group-Club-Society Function Form and be submitted to FM Assist for authorisation by the relevant Campus Facilities Manager. Please be aware applications for a Limited Licence must be lodged with the Office of Consumer and Business Services Commissioner at least 14 days before the date of the function. A Limited Licence may not be required for functions where the alcohol is being provided by a Licensed caterer/business. FM Assist staff will be able to advise.

A Limited Licence by the Office of the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner may stipulate security/crowd control as a requirement. The Campus Facilities Manager will assess the application and may also deem security/crowd control a necessity. If Security staff are required this will be arranged by FM Assist and the cost will be borne by the student group/applicant.

Under no circumstances can it be assumed that University of South Australia Security staff can be used or referred to as crowd controllers for planned events/functions.

As an example, a run of 200+ t-shirts (with two colour front and one colour back) will cost $10 per unit (including GST). Shirts can be picked up from AESS (749 Port Rd, Woodville) or arranged to be delivered to a USASA counter during SP 2 & 5 (approval required). The full price list to calculate your costs is available here(313KB).

The agreement has been made for Gildan styles of t-shirt, arguably the most popular brand for pub crawl t-shirts. If you are looking for some inspiration for your shirt designs, please view our Club's Facebook Page.
