I/We agree to meet the expense of my son/daughter being returned home, by the director of leaders accompanying him/her where it is deemed necessary including behavioural concerns.

I also understand that it is a condition of participation to accurately complete the medical form. I have been informed of the nature of the activity and understand that there is an element of risk involved. I acknowledge I may refuse to participate in any part of the activity I feel apprehensive about, (if this does not endanger myself or the other participants or leaders). I agree that if I suffer injury or illness, the organisers can arrange medical treatment and emergency evacuation services, as the organisers deem necessary for my safety or well-being.

I am aware, in signing this document of the risks and demanding nature of activities at this event, and am willing to accept this risk and a free to release, to the full extent permitted by law, AUSTRALASIAN CONFERENCE ASSOCIATION LIMITED (ACN 000 003 930) and its employees and agents from responsibility for any injuries which I may suffer as a result of participation in this event and its activities.
