The University staff member must have University approval to have the non-university passenger accompany them/drive the Pool vehicle on University business.
If staff have approval, the staff member accepts responsibility for the non-university passenger/driver and the University cannot be held responsible for any incident involving or caused by the non-university passenger (unless the University was negligent).
All children must be restrained in a suitable approved restraint that is properly adjusted and fastened.
For passengers / drivers that are not UniSA staff or students, we recommend that they check with their own personal/employer insurances to see what cover is afforded to them for this activity, as there is only limited cover under UniSA insurances (refer to Non University Person Driving Passenger table) .
If a non-university guest is driving the pool vehicle, the UniSA staff member must ensure their non-university guest holds a current and appropriate class of licence to drive the University vehicle.
Please note all University Pool vehicles (LeasePlan Australia leased vehicles) have comprehensive vehicle insurance.
(Note: CGU is also the insurer for the University's vehicles however the policies are separate and the insurance for leased vehicles is not managed by UniSA).
