If you are organising a gathering, event or class, here are some things to consider:

Do you need liability insurance?

Do you need workers compensation insurance?

What is “Duty of Care” and does it apply to you?

Are you responsible if a child is hurt while attending your event?

Are you responsible for any damage that occurs to the venue or resources provided for the event?

Will you be “out of pocket” if you have to cancel the event due to unforeseen circumstances?

These are just some of the things to be considered when or-ganising an activity for the home-ed community. HEWA mem-bers have access to advice, support, insurance and documen-tation. Email coordinator@hbln.org.au to find out more. For a limited time, non-members are also able to access advice.

For all general enquiries related to home education including membership, advertis-ing, website, social media, insurance, event organisation please contact:
