Vending Machines for Schools & UniversitiesHealthy, Convenient, & Hassle-Free

Schools, colleges, and universities are busy places, and students need quick, easy access to nutritious snacks and drinks throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick refuel between classes or hydration after sports, a vending machine provides a hassle-free solution that benefits students, staff, and visitors alike.

At City to Surf Vending, we provide modern, cashless vending machines tailored for educational institutions. We understand and strictly follow the Australian school food guidelinesto ensure that all student-accessible vending machines comply with healthy eating standards. Additionally, we offer traditional vending options for staff-only areas, allowing teachers and employees access to a broader range of snacks and drinks.

Compliant with School Food & Drink Guidelines

Australian schools follow state-based healthy eating policies that use a traffic light system to categorize food and drinks:

🟢 Green (Best Choices): Nutrient-rich foods that should dominate school vending machines (e.g., fresh fruit, whole grains, dairy, lean proteins, and water).
🟡 Amber (Select Carefully): Foods that should be eaten in moderation (e.g., reduced-fat processed foods and healthier snack alternatives).
🔴 Red (Limit or Avoid): Foods and drinks high in sugar, fat, and salt are not offered in student-accessible vending machines.

Our vending solutions for schools are fully compliant with these regulations, ensuring that students have access to nutritious, school-approved snacks and beverages.
