1. Attendance & Booking Guidelines

Unlike individual 1:1 sessions (which are strictly limited to one per carer), you are welcome to attend multiple group experiences, workshops, and community offers throughout October, subject to venue capacity and availability.

• Direct Bookings: RSVPs, ticket registrations, and inquiries are managed directly by the independent facilitator or host business.

• Commitment to Attend: Group spaces are limited and provided voluntarily by facilitators. If you can no longer attend, please notify the facilitator as early as possible so your space can be offered to another carer.

• Punctuality: Please arrive a few minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Facilitators reserve the right to deny late entry to minimize disruption to group environments.

2. Independent Facilitators & Hosts

All facilitators, presenters, venues, and businesses listed in this directory operate as independent providers. Bookings and attendance arrangements are made directly with them.

The independent provider is solely responsible for:

• Managing venue selection, health and safety, fire safety, and physical accessibility;

• Holding valid Public Liability Insurance covering group activities or public dining;

• Assessing physical, emotional, or environmental risks associated with the activity;

• Clearly disclosing equipment requirements, dress codes, or physical intensity levels;

• Managing group sizes, registration lists, and cancellations; and

• Complying with all relevant statutory, health, and consumer laws.

Carers Month, HCCC, and its group organizers do not employ, supervise, or direct group hosts, nor do we attend or oversee group events.

3. Food, Dining & Allergy Disclosures

Where a group experience or community offer involves food, beverages, catering, or dining:

• Allergens & Dietary Needs: You are solely responsible for communicating any food allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions directly to the venue or host prior to attending or consuming food.

• Host Responsibility: Food preparation, storage, food safety compliance, and allergen management are the exclusive legal responsibility of the venue or hospitality business.

4. Group Safety, Respect & Environment

Group settings bring together diverse community members. To ensure a welcoming and safe environment for everyone:

• Respect & Conduct: Participants are expected to interact respectfully and courteously with facilitators, venue staff, and fellow carers. Harassment, disruptive behavior, or inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated.

• Third-Party Conduct: HCCC does not control or supervise the behavior, actions, or statements of other attendees at group events and accepts no liability for third-party conduct.

• Personal Boundaries: You are always in control of your own participation. You have the right to step out, pause, or withdraw from any group activity or exercise at any time.

5. Health, Accessibility & Due Diligence

We encourage you to review event details carefully before registering:

• Health Disclosures: If an experience involves physical movement, sound therapy, breathwork, or outdoor activities, please consult your medical practitioner and inform the facilitator of pre-existing health conditions or mobility requirements.

• Accessibility: Please check venue access, parking, and facility layout directly with the host prior to attending.

6. No Endorsement & Disclaimer

Inclusion of a group event, workshop, dining offer, or product on Carers Month does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, certification, or safety guarantee by HCCC.

By viewing, registering for, or attending any group experience or offer listed on this website, you acknowledge and agree to the full Carers Month Website Terms & Conditions.
