Members Handbook

STARplex... it’s

all right here!

Dear STARplex Member ,

Welcome

Welcome to a community wellness hub which will support you to achieve a balanced, healthy and active lifestyle.

Our passion is to see you get results, achieve your goals, improve your health and find a sense of wellbeing.

STARplex is a facility for everyone. We offer programs and services for babies right through to seniors and have a specific focus on catering for our families in the community.

We do this by providing a variety of quality programs which give you a choice of activities appropriate to your age, personality and family circumstances. All STARplex services are delivered by friendly, qualified staff who share this passion.

Many staff and members have been at STARplex since we started operations in the year 2000 and have helped to establish our reputation as a wellness hub.

I am confident your experience will be enjoyable and your participation in the STARplex community will have a positive influence on those you meet and know. We look forward to your contribution in this regard.

STARplex is keen to be part of the solution when it comes to addressing societal health problems such as chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiac disease. We have deliberately collocated health service providers such as doctors, physiotherapists, dietitians and exercise physiologists at STARplex to facilitate preventative health strategies for anyone identified by these providers as at risk of chronic disease.

In partnership with health providers STARplex wants to ensure your level of physical activity is safe and the outcomes you are seeking are reasonable and achievable.

To this end this handbook sets out the policies, procedures, codes and guidelines that underlie the STARplex culture and which make STARplex the safe and friendly place it is. Please refer to this handbook for information relating to participation in STARplex services.

Yours in health and wellbeing,

Dale Martin STARplex General Manager

STARplex...our story...

The complex, which was opened in June 2000, is owned by Trinity College and operated as a not for profit community centre.

With over 9,000 visitors every week the complex has something for everyone. Visitors enjoy a huge range of recreational services delivered by experienced, qualified staff.

A key outcome for STARplex is personal and community health and wellbeing. This is being accomplished through an educational focus on junior sports development, fitness and lifestyle coaching and event and conference staging, all undertaken in friendly, modern facilities.

In 2006-07 STARplex won the South Australian Fitness Centre of the Year Award which recognised STARplex’s adoption of the Fitness Industry Code of Practice that promotes quality customer care, fair trading, excellence in staff training and community involvement.

STARplex has a variety of retail shopping options for visitors that include the STARstore for gifts, sports and school-wear; Pec Deck Cafe, Evanston Park Surgery and Pharmacy, the Gawler Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic and the STARplex Wellness and Rehabilitation Clinic.

STARplex can help you look and feel healthy, so find time to make the STARplex experience part of your lifestyle.

The name STARplex originated from our focus on Sports, Training, Arts & Recreation. STARplex is a friendly provider offering quality lifestyle health and fitness experiences for families in the northern community.

STARplex...what we are best at is teaching, coaching and

mentoring groups and individuals in sports development, fitness and recreational activity…

STARplex Swim Centre is registered with Swim Australia.

In order to maintain our high level of water quality, it is important for our customers to know that the pools may be shut down on any given day without prior warning.

For example, if STARplex experiences power failure for more than one hour, the pool will be closed for at least 8 hours. We appreciate your understanding should this occur.

We will use our best endeavour to notify clients of pool closures due to circumstances outside our control, such as power outages.

Our pools are disinfected using a combination of ultra violet light and liquid chlorine. The technology of ultra violet light reduces the amount of chloramines therefore providing a high quality of water and air conditions for our clients.

In order to maintain our high quality of water we ask that clients do not wear cotton t-shirts in the pool. We recommend rash tops which are available from the STARstore. T-shirts are permitted for parent and baby classes only.

rooms is not permitted.

13. There is a Lifeguard on duty at all times the pool is open.

2. Upon your direct debit being rejected, you will be contacted via SMS or Email. You will be informed that a rejection has occurred and that the outstanding amount, plus the rejection fee ($15) will be automatically deducted on the next direct debit run in addition to the standard debit amount (example $14.20+$15.00+$14.20 =$43.40 to be taken)

3. This procedure will be repeated if there is a 2nd consecutive rejection

4. Upon the 3rd consecutive rejection, you will be contacted by SMS or Email, requesting urgent attention to amend the problem.

5. If we do not receive a reply before the next debit day, the swimming lessons will be cancelled. You will receive a letter informing you of this cancellation, including details of the amount owing.

this information as soon as it occurs.

2. Please ensure that you advise staff if your child has any medical

conditions i.e. allergies/asthma on each visit.

This is to ensure the STARplex Crèche remains a safe environment for all children.

Please ensure that you cancel your booking if you no longer require care, this will enable us to provide a place for families on the waiting list. If you are placed on waiting list, please ensure that you complete your contact details on the form provided, this way our staff can contact you promptly if a place becomes available.

about you leaving, it may be a good idea to leave straight

away and then come back after a short period of time

to spend some time playing with your child when you return.

Whatever way you decide to settle your child into care,

it is always a good idea to tell your child/ren when you

are leaving as it is important that they know you will be

Allergies / Medical 1. We have had an increase in the number of children attending

the STARplex Crèche who have various food allergies or

medical conditions. Certain allergies/medical conditions pose

a life threatening risk to these children. In an emergency

situation, these children may require certain medication to be

administered.

2. Staff in the STARplex Crèche cannot accept responsibility

to administer medication to your child (with the exception of

Anaphylaxis/Asthma reliever medication). Staff will promptly

notify you if any medication is required in an emergency.

3. The STARplex Crèche team have an Action Plan for Anaphylaxis

(life threatening conditions), which will enable staff to provide a

safe environment for children with allergic/medical conditions

whilst in the STARplex Crèche. It will contain up to date

information about your child together with parent/guardian

information.

4. Action Plans will also include steps which staff will follow in a life

threatening emergency situation. Due to the large influx of

children and families that utilise our service on a casual basis it

is important that the parent/guardian hand medication

and action plans to staff on arrival so that it can be stored in

the medication box. This will ensure that staff can find

medication quickly in an emergency.

5. In an emergency situation, staff will follow STARplex policies.

Should a child require medical attention, staff will first meet

the child’s immediate needs, i.e. call an ambulance, then

make contact with parents/guardians.

6. Please feel free to approach STARplex Crèche staff if you need

to fill out an Action Plan or with any questions or feedback.

Infectious Diseases Guidelines 1. It is recommended that children using the STARplex crèche

are up to date with their vaccines.

2. Children with visible signs of a contagious illness will be

excluded from the STARplex Crèche until the child is free

from infection.

3. A medical clearance must be obtained from your doctor

before your child attends the STARplex Crèche again.

4. The STARplex Crèche must be notified if a child develops

any contagious diseases whilst they have been in the

service, so staff can notify other parents with an information

notice which is displayed on the wall, above the sign-in-

sheet detailing the type of illness, date and number of cases

etc. (all other details remain confidential) 5. Exclusion times are an important factor in limiting the spread

of infectious diseases, they are:

Chicken Pox Incubation period 14-21 days.

Exclude until blisters are crusted and

dry.

Conjunctivitis

Exclude until discharge from eyes has ceased.

Diarrhoea Exclude until diarrhoea has ceased.

Hand, Foot & Mouth Exclude until blisters have dried/

disappeared.

Head Lice Exclude until appropriate treatment

has commenced & no live lice/eggs

are evident.

Hepatitis Exclude until medical certificate

certifies recovery.

Measles Exclude for at least 4 days after

onset of rash.

Meningitis Exclude until well.

Mumps Exclude for 9 days, or until swelling

has gone down

Rubella Exclude until disappeared, at least 4

days.

Scabies Exclude until cleared.

School Sores Exclude until cleared.

Vomiting Exclude until cleared.

Whooping Cough Exclude child for 5 days after starting

anti-biotic treatment.

For more detailed information on infectious diseases, please see staff with any questions or comments. The STARplex Crèche uses Staying Healthy in Childcare as a guide to the appropriate treatment and exclusions for all childhood illnesses.

STARplex Crèche Food Policy STARplex Crèche is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for staff and children. Our policy reflects the importance of healthy eating, dental health and a safe environment for those children with allergies to food and drink.

We also need to consider that children are only in the crèche for a maximum of two hours per session time. It is important that your child/ren’s main meals, i.e: breakfast, lunch & dinner, are to be given to your child/ren before or after their time in the STARplex Crèche.

For the safety of our Children 1. Please ensure all bags, lunchboxes, bottles and prams are

labelled with your child’s full name. Any lunchboxes, food items

or bottles not labelled will not be given to your child by staff.

2. The staff aim to develop a positive self-concept in all children

in our care. The guidance of your child’s behaviour will be

positive, supportive and consistent with their age, expectations

and individuality. Any child/children behaving in an aggressive

and unsafe manner will be requested by staff to be collected

immediately by their parents.

3. Please ensure your child’s fingernails are cut short to ensure the

safety of your child and other children in the crèche in case of

any scratching accidents.

4. Small items need to be kept at home. Please check your

children’s pockets, bags, etc. for any such items before leaving

your child.

5. Please ensure toys are kept at home. Toys brought into the

Crèche create conflict between the children and there is a risk

of losing your well-loved toys. The STARplex Crèche provides a

large range of toys suitable for different age levels.

6. Please ensure small hairclips are not in your child’s hair, they

may fall out and be a choking hazard to a baby.

7. No medication is to be kept in your child’s bag.

8. Parents please be aware when rushing out the door, that the

gate and door are closed behind you.

9. Please check lost property boxes for any of your lost items.

Reminder: If your child requires a milk bottle or food which needs to be warmed up please ensure it is warmed up before you bring your child in. The STARplex Crèche has no microwave and staff may not have the opportunity to leave the room to warm them

up. It is acceptable to bring in warm boiled water in a bottle and a measured amount of formula, so staff can then make up the bottle if your child requires it. This is a healthier option and will not destroy the nutrients in the milk like microwaving or reheating.

Emergency Evacuation Procedures: 1. STARplex Crèche in conjunction with STARplex have a

detailed emergency evacuation procedure, so if the need

ever arises, we are effective in evacuating the centre as

quickly and safely as possible.

2. It is important that all the children and staff are accounted

for if we evacuate the building and this is why we have all

children/staff signed in and out for each session. To ensure

that we are not hindered in an evacuation, it will not be

possible for us to release a child when transporting children

to the STARplex assembly point. If you make your way to the

STARplex Crèche in an emergency evacuation, stay with the

group until we are able to account for all the children. We

may then call on you to assist, otherwise follow the directions

from STARplex staff to the nearest exit.

3. Once we have called the attendance list and notified the

Fire Warden that all children are out of the building and the

Fire Warden has advised that it is safe to leave, you can then

sign out your child and leave STARplex.

4. Detailed copies of our Fire/Emergency Evacuation

Procedure are clearly displayed in the crèche.

The STARplex Crèche newsletter is published every three months with updated, current and important information for the parents/guardians utilising the STARplex Crèche.

Please feel free to collect your copy from the STARplex Crèche or advise us of your email address and we will be happy to email you a copy.

Hewitson Theatre Terms and Conditions a) Some ticketed shows are sold by STARplex as an agent for and on behalf of the Production Company or group, their management and/or promoter (‘the seller’) responsible for the show or performance for which it is sold. All complaints or claims are the responsibility of the seller and not STARplex in this instance. Further conditions of entry to these shows (external promoter) may apply – please check with promoter and/or agent responsible for the show. b) All tickets purchased to any show will either be emailed to the purchaser (if booked on TryBooking.com) or kept at STARplex Reception for collection (if booked over the phone) anytime up until and including, the show or event day. Tickets will not be posted. c) Hewitson Theatre STARplex collects your individual information in case of an event cancellation or change, and also to include you on our newsletter database (bi-monthly e-news) - you may opt out of these at any time. If you fail to supply sufficient and appropriate contact information, STARplex is not responsible for failure to contact you. d) Proof of concession entitlement will be required at time of counter sales and on entry to Hewitson Theatre STARplex.

is unable or chooses not to attend. Refunds are at the discretion of the seller. If a refund is available, STARplex will only provide this in person at STARplex Reception.
