Meeting the lawyer and Project Schedule template

Today we met with a lawyer at Victoria University, Cameron Murrell.
Cameron was extremely helpful, and helped explain how we should go about creating a project schedule(here is a link to the file), which covers aspects like;
- Creating a strategic partnership agreement
- Project outline
- People involved
- Term
- Parties obligations
- Fees
- Reviews and reporting
- Special conditions
We also spoke about the possible risks;
- Inadvertant injury to kids
- Damage to equipment
Other points included;
- He recommended we keep other parties who are hiring people in the space(at the moment Monash) well informed.
- Currently the people who are working in the space are covered by workcover, or if they are contractors it's their own responsibility. That will change when we have members of the public(kids and their families) attending, and we will need insurance.
- We need ethics approval from VU.
- If we have student teachers in, we need a 'learning in the workplace agreement' in which case those student teachers will be covered by VU's public liability insurance.
- I need to speak to our 'landlord'(Michael) about health and safety, and fire issues. What is already covered and what is not(there was a fire hydrant placed outside our door recently so I am hoping that is all up to date).
