Why join ACTSCA?

ACTSCA represents the school canteens of the ACT and is the only organisation to do so.  It has the support of 80% of canteens in the Territory, and its committee comprises mostly canteen managers, who are well aware of the day-to-day issues of running a canteen.

As a member you are sent a newsletter at the start of each term  with information on issues that will affect your canteen, events coming up and new ideas.

ACTSCA provides information on:

  • menu planning
  • planning and presenting special theme days
  • food and recipe ideas
  • approved registered products
  • price comparisons
  • volunteers
  • policy development
  • employment
  • long service leave entitlements
  • finance & profitability
  • food safety
  • marketing & promotion
  • OH&S
  • NoWaste 2010

ACTSCA recognises the importance of competency based professional development for canteen staff and initiated CAPACT (Canteen Administration Program ACT).  ACTSCA administered and managed CAPACT and worked in a successful partnership with the Heart Foundation (ACT Division) and the Departments of Education and Health to maintain CAPACT since 2003.

ACTSCA offers its members the opportunity to network with other canteen staff. This can be through informal area meetings, which can arranged by committee members or at events organised by ACTSCA like trade expos and CAPACT training days.

ACTSCA provides help to P&C/P&F Associations and canteen committees to employ staff to operate the canteen.  The service offered (at a nominal charge) includes proformas for placing the ad., preparing the job description and duty statement and being in attendance at the job interview.  ACTSCA WILL NOT DIRECT OR INTERFERE IN ANY WAY with the decision making process.
