How bookings work
Ground and facility bookings (using Skedda) are dealt with separately to the bar and canteen at AUSF Managed Venues. It is not assumed that through a ground or facility booking that the bar or canteen will be in use, so it is important that the above request forms are completed in advance of each function or event.
What you need before submitting a request:
- Date/s of your event or function
- Proposed event operating hours
- Any requirements for staffing
- Names of members who will volunteer at the bar or canteen
AUSF will consider the request based on the information provided - please ensure all details are included at the time of submission.

Requesting AUSF retail staff
AUSF manages a pool of casual Food and Beverage Attendants to support retail operations across each venue. All staff hold an RSA and work across bars and canteens. Staff wages are paid fortnightly in arrears and subtracted from the requesting club's monthly profit share distribution. AUSF Food & Beverage Attendants are aligned to Grade 2 of the Registered and Licensed Clubs Award. Requests for staffing must be made at least two weeks prior to the proposed event date. To request staff, please use the above forms. If your event request has already been submitted and you now require staff, please email sports@adelaide.edu.au. If a club wishes to pay volunteer honourariums, please discuss with AUSF to ensure consistency in payment. These will be paid by AUSF with costs subtracted from the club's profit distribution.
