Event refers to the 'Camp Pilliga’' organised by FWP. Although ‘Camp Pilliga’ takes place in May 2026, it encompasses all activities related to the 'Camp Pilliga’', including activities undertaken prior to, during, and after the 'FWP Camp '; and For Wild Places or FWP refers to For Wild Places Foundation Ltd ABN 35 661 735 557.

This document, and the Terms and Conditions, are important documents that affect your legal rights and obligations leading up to, during and after your participation in the Event. You must read them carefully prior to entering the event. During online entry, you must tick a box to confirm you have read and understood this form. You should make yourself aware of the risks of participating and, if in doubt, seek independent advice about participating.

LIABILITY EXCLUSIONS

The Participant releases FWP (including its Personnel) from all claims (including those arising out of negligence), loss, damage, liability, cost and expense arising out of the Participant's participation in the Event and the Participant indemnifies FWP against any claim (including but not limited to those arising in negligence), loss, damage, liability, cost and expense that may be incurred or sustained by FWP in connection with any act, matter or thing done, permitted or omitted to be done by the Participant or which was in any way connected with the Participant’s involvement in the Event. 

Nothing in these terms and conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any term, condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy (including but not limited to a guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL)) which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified. 

To the extent permitted by Section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act (2010)(Cth) (CCA), the Participant acknowledges and agrees that FWP excludes all liability in connection with the supply of recreational services for: 

(a) death; 

(b) physical or mental injury; 

(c) the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of a physical or mental injury; 

(d) the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; and 

(e) the coming into existence, the aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs in relation to an individual, that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to the individual or community, or that may result in harm or disadvantage to the individual or community, resulting from a failure of FWP to comply with a guarantee in sections 60-62 of the ACL. 

This exclusion of liability does not apply where significant personal injury is caused by the reckless conduct of FWP in accordance with section 139A of the CCA. 

The Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW) (CLA) permits a term of a contract for the supply of recreation services to exclude liability of the supplier for damages for harm resulting from a breach of an express or implied warranty that the services will be rendered with reasonable care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that FWP excludes all liability for damages for any harm (including but not limited to personal injury or death, damage to property and economic loss and whether direct, indirect, special or consequential) from a failure to exercise reasonable care and skill, regardless of whether the claim is brought in tort (including in negligence), in contract, under statute or otherwise, where such liability results from breach of an express or implied warranty that the services will be rendered with reasonable care and skill. 

Except as expressly included in these terms and conditions, all implied terms, conditions, warranties, rights or other additional obligations that can be lawfully excluded are excluded from these terms and conditions.
