Schools & sporting organisations

Fete day gear, with the paperwork already done.

Big obstacle courses, dunk tanks and castles for schools, P&C committees and sporting clubs across South East Queensland. Every device comes with the six documents your principal, insurer and Workplace Health and Safety Queensland will ask for.

Before anything gets inflated

Six documents your supplier should hand over.

Print this and hold any quote against it, including ours. A supplier who cannot produce all six on request is not one to put on school grounds. We keep every one of them ready to send, for every device in our fleet, at no charge.

  1. 1

    Certificate of Currency

    Public liability insurance to $20 million, current on the day of your event.

  2. 2

    Equipment risk assessments

    One per device, covering the hazards specific to that inflatable.

  3. 3

    Operating and safety instructions

    The SWMS: what our crew does, in writing, to set up and run the device safely.

  4. 4

    Training, competency and Blue Card records

    Proof that the people on your grounds are trained and cleared to work with children.

  5. 5

    Annual inspection records

    Current within the last 12 months, as Queensland requires for every device.

  6. 6

    Device logbook

    The full service and inspection history for each inflatable on your site.

And three things we will write for you

  • An individualised risk assessment for your specific site, not a generic one.
  • Help completing the Queensland amusement device checklist your committee has to sign.
  • The operator confirmation sheet in that checklist, filled in and ready for your principal to countersign.

Our devices comply with AS 3533.4.1, and our anchor pegs are engineer tested to the European EN 14960 standard.

The school and club range

Built for a fete crowd, not a backyard.

These are the units schools and clubs book most. Long obstacle courses keep a queue moving instead of bottlenecking on a single castle, and they photograph well for next year's promotion. All prices include GST and exclude delivery and supervisors.

Ask us about it

Book with us more than once and you join our loyalty program.

Schools and clubs that come back to us get earlier access to peak fete dates, fixed delivery pricing and reduced labour rates. There is no form and no fee. Mention it when you enquire and we will tell you what we can do for your committee.

Queensland rules, in short

What your committee is actually responsible for.

The device operator carries the primary safety duty. Your job as organiser is to pick a competent one, tell them about the site, and keep the paperwork. Here is what that means in practice.

Tell Workplace Health and Safety Queensland

Email whsq.aaa@oir.qld.gov.au at least 3 weeks before your event with the date, bump in and bump out times, the address, the operator's details and ABN, the devices and their registration numbers, and a contact for your committee. An inspector may come and look, which is a good thing.

Sight the engineer's report

Every device needs an inspection within the last 12 months, and a major inspection within every 10 years. For inflatables where riders reach a platform under 9 metres, a competent person can do it. Above 9 metres it must be an RPEQ registered engineer, checkable on the BPEQ register.

Registration is not always required

Most amusement devices need plant and design registration, but inflatables only need it where patrons can reach a platform 3 metres or higher. Where it applies, plant registration runs to 31 January each year. We will tell you which of your booked devices need it.

Anchoring is where inflatables fail

A single ground stake should hold around 230kg of force. Replacing stakes with weights on a paved surface takes far more than most people expect: a sandbag or a 20 litre water drum is only about 20kg each. Never let anyone tie an inflatable to a vehicle. We peg to the manufacturer's specification, every time.

Six metres from the power lines

No part of a device may sit within 6 metres of overhead power lines. If your oval cannot give us that, call Energex on 13 12 53 or Ergon Energy on 13 74 66 before the day, and tell us so we can re-plan the layout.

Public liability, and who needs it

Public liability insurance is not strictly a work health and safety requirement, which surprises most committees. Your school will want it anyway, and so will we: our hire terms ask the hirer to carry cover of not less than $20 million. Our own certificate comes with your booking.

Summarised from the Queensland Government's Mobile amusement devices: checklist for school fete and event organisers (reviewed March 2026, V7), developed with Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. For the full committee checklist including council permits, read our school fete jumping castle checklist.

How to book

Four steps, and we do most of them.

  1. Send us the date and the ground

    Your fete date, your postcode and roughly how many students. If you know where on the grounds the inflatables are going, tell us. If you do not, we will help you work it out.

  2. We quote, with the real delivery fee

    Delivery is worked out from your distance to the Brisbane CBD, so you get a figure rather than a range. There is no minimum order. Use the delivery calculator to check your postcode now.

  3. We send the compliance pack

    All six documents, plus your site specific risk assessment and the pre filled confirmation sheet, before you have paid anything. Take it to your principal.

  4. Confirm the booking

    A $250 deposit secures the date, with the balance due 7 days before the event. Approved schools and government bodies can arrange to pay outside those terms instead. Ask us and we will sort it before you commit.

Two things worth knowing before you order

Standard installation covers up to three inflatables, and each 15 metre section of obstacle course counts as two. A large course or a four unit fete order attracts additional installation labour, so ask us for the full figure rather than adding hire prices together.

Supervisors are charged with a minimum of 4 hours each. Every inflatable needs a trained supervisor present the whole time it is inflated. Many schools staff this themselves with parent volunteers, which is fine by us and by the rules. Tell us which way you are going and the quote will reflect it.

Questions we get from P&C committees

The things worth asking before you book.

Can our school pay on invoice instead of a deposit?
Often, yes. Approved organisations, including schools and government bodies, can arrange payment terms outside our standard deposit and balance schedule once the paperwork is completed and approved. Ask when you enquire and we will set it up before you commit. Everyone else pays a $250 deposit to secure the date, with the balance due 7 days before the event.
Do you supply the compliance documents free?
Yes. All six documents are prepared and ready to send for every device in our fleet, at no charge. If your school needs a risk assessment written for your specific site, or help completing the Queensland amusement device checklist, we will prepare that for you too.
Do we need a supervisor, and what does it cost?
A competently trained supervisor must be present and actively supervising any inflatable for the whole time it is inflated. You are welcome to supply your own. If you would rather we did, our supervisors are charged at our labour rates with a minimum of 4 hours per supervisor. Events more than 100km from the Brisbane CBD add $1.50 per kilometre beyond 100km.
Does our jumping castle need to be registered with Workplace Health and Safety Queensland?
Only where patrons can reach a platform 3 metres or higher. Inflatables below that do not need yearly plant and design registration. We will tell you which category each device you book falls into, and supply the registration paperwork where it applies.
How much space do we need on the oval?
Every product page lists both the device size and the clear area required around it. As a rule, allow at least 5 metres beyond the device on every side, keep all parts of it more than 6 metres from overhead power lines, and give us level ground we can peg into. Tell us your site and we will work it out with you.
What happens if it is too windy on the day?
We warn and prepare to clear the inflatable at 30 km/h, and take it down at 35 km/h. Nobody goes back on until the wind is steady below 30 km/h again. That is a safety decision and it is not negotiable, so build a wet weather and wind plan into your fete programme.
How far in advance should we book?
Term 3 and Term 4 fete season fills months ahead, and most schools in a suburb hold their fete on the same handful of Saturdays. Book as early as your date is locked in. Anything booked within 48 hours of the event carries a 25% last-minute surcharge.

Got a fete date locked in?

Send us the date and your postcode. We will come back with a quote and the full compliance pack, before you commit to anything.
