Safety & Wellbeing

Narara Ecovillage is situated in a bush environment which includes various natural hazards such as uneven or slippery ground, the vagaries of weather, and natural flora and fauna. In addition, participants in activities or tours may need to take care with other hazards, such as heavy, hot or sharp objects, chemicals, electric tools, etc.

I agree to take reasonable precautions to ensure my own safety and wellbeing, and the safety and wellbeing of others, including any person in my care, and to follow organisers’ safety instructions at all times while I am in the village or participating in organised activities.
