Do you run events like workshops, retreats, training or other experiences? Or do you offer recreational activities like hiking or abseiling? 

Also known as a release and event waiver or an activity waiver and release form, the Event Liability Waiver template (also known as an activity waiver and release form) is for you to use in a range of events and activities where the participants need to acknowledge the risk and agree to waive their right to make a legal claim against you as the organiser if they are hurt or suffer injury.

Both low and high-risk activities require a flexible liability waiver that covers a range of event types.

Purchase the Event Liability Waiver template

This Event Liability Waiver template:

  • requires you to complete the items in red text being your business name and ABN, the Event details and the Activities that will be undertaken at the Event;

  • is limited to an exclusion for liability for death and injury only to ensure that the indemnity is not too broad and will come under section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). If it also applies to property damage, the waiver may be too broad and lose its legal effect under that section. Accordingly, this Accident Waiver and Release of Liability form template does NOT apply to personal property; and

  • is a general template drafted for Australian laws and does not incorporate specific disclaimers that you might require if you offer particularly specialised Events. If you have more complex arrangements or wish to make the template more specific by upgrading to our customised online course terms creation package, please get in touch with us to discuss customised amendments via bossteam@readytobosslegal.com 

Note: Even in cases where a waiver / release form is signed, if the event organiser is considered to be reckless or negligent in regard to the personal safety of its participants, then the waiver may not apply.
