First up, thank you for caring about your patrons. By inviting us to operate at your event you’re helping them make informed decisions about their own safety and avoid dangerous situations.
Please note we require a minimum of 8 weeks’ notice to book your event. If your event is at a high-demand time (ie New Years, Waitangi weekend, O-week) please book as far in advance as possible or we may not be able to accommodate you.
How it works
Get in touch with us by filling out the form on the contact page, giving us:
- your event’s location
- the dates your event will run, and
- the expected population of your event.
We’ll send you a booking sheet to fill out with a quote for our services.
What we usually need at an event
While we are pretty self-sustaining, we do need you to provide some things for us, depending on what kind of event you’re hosting. We need:
- Crew tickets for our team so they have access to security, medics, and other restricted areas of the event
- Shaded space to provide service (minimum 6x9m) with drive-on access
- At least one parking space adjacent to where we will be working, for secure storage.
We may need:
- Internet connection
- Power connection
Why does it cost to have KYSNZ at your event?
You, KnowYourStuffNZ, and the law
The Drug and Substance Checking Legislation Act 2021 Section 12 1A means that you can invite us and other certified organisations to come and perform drug checking services at your event. There won’t be any legal risk to your event licence.

We recommend visiting the Drugs At Events resource for information about how to manage drugs at your event.
