Event Terms & Conditions

Flip the Script is an educational and experiential wellbeing event designed for healthcare professionals and invited guests. The Retreat combines presentations, experiential learning, community-based activities and networking to promote healthcare workforce wellbeing and increase understanding of loneliness, social isolation, connection and social prescribing.

Participation in all activities is voluntary.

By attending the Retreat, you confirm that you are medically fit to participate in the activities you choose, will exercise reasonable judgement regarding your own health, fitness and wellbeing, and are responsible for determining whether each activity is appropriate for you.

If you have any medical condition, injury or concern that may affect your participation, you are encouraged to seek medical advice before attending the Retreat.

If at any time you feel unwell or unable to participate safely, you should discontinue the activity immediately.

Participation in the Retreat is entirely voluntary and undertaken at your own risk.

The Retreat includes indoor and outdoor wellbeing activities that may involve walking, movement, beach environments, parks, public spaces and community venues. These activities carry inherent risks, including slips, trips and falls; uneven or natural terrain; weather conditions; physical exertion; movement-based activities; travel between activities; interactions with members of the public; and accidental injury.

By participating, you acknowledge these risks and voluntarily accept responsibility for your participation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and hold harmless the event organisers, presenters, facilitators, volunteers, venue providers, sponsors, partners and auspice organisations from liability for personal injury, illness, loss or damage arising from your participation, except where liability cannot legally be excluded under Australian law.

Some activities will take place in public locations including beaches, parks, walking paths and other community spaces.

Participants agree to follow facilitator instructions, respect other participants and members of the public, comply with all applicable laws and venue requirements, take reasonable care for their own safety, and respect public facilities and the environment.

Participants agree to comply with all reasonable directions provided by event organisers, presenters and facilitators, venue staff, and authorised event volunteers.

The organisers reserve the right to refuse participation or request a participant leave the Retreat if their behaviour is unsafe, disruptive or inappropriate.

The organisers reserve the right to amend, substitute, postpone, relocate or cancel any aspect of the Retreat where reasonably necessary.

This may include changes resulting from adverse weather, beach or environmental conditions, participant safety considerations, presenter or facilitator availability, venue requirements, operational requirements, or other unforeseen circumstances beyond the organisers' reasonable control.

Where practicable, participants will be advised of significant changes.

The Retreat embraces the unique natural environment of the Gold Coast.

Outdoor activities may be modified, relocated or replaced with suitable alternatives if weather or environmental conditions make them unsuitable or unsafe.

Participant safety will always take precedence over the published program.

Photography, videography and audio recordings may be taken throughout the Retreat.

By attending the Retreat, you consent to the organisers and authorised partners using photographs, video recordings, audio recordings and images in which you may appear for future event promotion, websites, social media, newsletters, publications, presentations, annual reports, educational resources, media releases, marketing materials and grant reporting.

No compensation will be payable for the use of these materials.

If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please notify the organisers before the commencement of the Retreat. Every reasonable effort will be made to respect your preference; however, due to the nature of a public event, complete exclusion from group photographs or recordings cannot be guaranteed.

Personal information collected during registration will be used for event administration, participant communication, evaluation, reporting, future event information where consent has been provided, and improving future educational activities.

Personal information will be managed in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other applicable Australian privacy legislation.

Participants may be invited to complete surveys before, during and after the Retreat to evaluate participant wellbeing, learning outcomes and the impact of the event.

Evaluation findings may be used in de-identified form for quality improvement, reports, conference presentations, publications, research, funding acquittals and future program development.

No participant will be personally identified without their separate written consent. Participation in evaluation activities is voluntary unless otherwise specified.

Flip the Script is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and respectful environment.

Participants are expected to treat others with courtesy and respect, contribute to an inclusive environment, maintain professional behaviour, respect the confidentiality of personal stories shared during discussions, and refrain from harassment, discrimination or inappropriate behaviour.

The organisers reserve the right to remove any participant whose behaviour compromises the safety or wellbeing of others.

Some activities may occur on beaches or include optional walking in shallow water. Participation in these activities is entirely voluntary.

Participants are responsible for deciding whether they are comfortable participating and must follow any reasonable safety directions provided by facilitators.

The Retreat does not include supervised swimming activities unless specifically advised.

The organisers shall not be liable for any delay, modification or cancellation of the Retreat resulting from circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, government restrictions, public health emergencies, venue closures, industrial action or other unforeseen events.
