Support

SU QLD employs many staff-workers who are available to assist event directors to run their event. SUQLD can also provide practical support like marketing and promotional assistance, access to financial accounts, and other specialist assistance as required.

Protection

Any activity related to chaplaincy can directly or indirectly affect SU QLD. For this reason we want to ensure that all events related to SU QLD are in line with our policies, procedures and ethos. SU QLD has developed policies and procedures in accordance with QLD’s Child Protection Legislation that protects volunteers and the children and young people entrusted to their care. SU QLD has also put in place emergency response procedures, various insurance covers and financial processes to comply with GST requirements.

How much does it cost?

SU QLD charges each LCC a levy as part of the chaplaincy service’s contribution to the running costs of SU’s chaplaincy division. In most cases there will be no additional cost for your event. It would only be in instances where considerable staff time is needed to be devoted to your event that an additional fee would be negotiated with you.

What does SU QLD require?

SU QLD requires that the event be run in a way that ensures the safety and care of all team members and participants.
For this reason we require that the Event Director completes the necessary Safety Information Form and submit these for approval or modification to the Regional Office. Failure to comply with acceptable Safety Management practices will result in SU removing its endorsement of the event.

What is SU QLD’s policy in relation to alcohol and gambling?

It is SU QLD’s policy that in our events, no money be raised through the sale of alcohol and the conducting of any activities that would be considered as gambling. We recognize the harm that has been brought to many young people and their families by alcohol and gambling and for this reason we respectfully request that these areas not be part of the raising of funds.
