What the Programme does for your venue

Four jobs, off your desk.

Stop chasing maintenance

We come back on schedule, so you don't have to remember when each system is due.

Build a defensible record

A documented service history that demonstrates due diligence over time, not only on the day.

Keep certificates current

Load tests and Test & Tag renewed before they lapse, so nothing falls out of certification.

See your venue improve

A Due-Diligence Level that climbs year on year, on paper - from breakdown-only toward fully monitored.

What's included

A programme you can
run on, and defend.

A programme is not an annual phone call. Each visit combines inspection, maintenance and certification, and adds to a documented service history.

Scheduled inspectionsAnnual or six-monthly, set to your use and risk, and booked around your performance calendar.Scheduled
Preventative maintenance visitsLubrication, alignment and tensioning across fly systems, hoists, drapes and tracks and stage machinery - wear monitored against discard criteria, with functional checks of brakes, limits and emergency stops.Preventative
Minor corrective maintenance in-situSmall fixes done on the visit, so the obvious does not wait for the next quote.Corrective
Electrical Test & TagPowered hoists and stage equipment tested and tagged to AS/NZS 3760.AS/NZS 3760
Per-asset certificationCertificates across your systems - every load-tested electric chain hoist gets its own, typically valid 12 months, with rigging and height-safety equipment certified item by item.Certified
Documented service history + asset registerPersistent Asset IDs tracked year on year, so the record never restarts when staff change.Register

The Programme keeps you there, on schedule.

It is the Maintain step: an ongoing relationship where the same deliverables repeat on an annual or six-monthly cadence, building a documented history that raises your Due-Diligence Level.

A Venue Systems Health Check is a one-off review that tells you where your stage systems stand today. The Programme is the ongoing relationship that keeps them there: scheduled visits, maintenance, certification and a service history that builds year on year.
Typically yearly. Some systems are inspected two or four times a year, depending on the system, its use and its risk. Visits are scheduled in advance, around your performance calendar.
Depending on what you run: scheduled inspections, preventative and minor corrective maintenance, electrical Test & Tag, per-asset certificates, a service history with asset register, and a Maintenance Priority List, all tracked against your Due-Diligence Level.
Hoist and rigging systems are typically serviced every 12 months, some on a shorter cycle. Each visit covers lubrication, alignment and tensioning, wear checks against published discard criteria, and functional tests of brakes, limits and emergency stops. Minor fixes are done in-situ and documented. Keeping to the interval protects warranty cover.
Yes. The documented history and per-asset certification stand as due-diligence evidence that your venue is maintaining its stage systems to recognised standards.
TSA's own Competent Inspection Officers and technicians, in-house, Australia wide - the same people across visits, so they know your systems.
