Are liability waivers enforceable in Tasmania?

Tasmania follows the mainstream Australian approach. The Civil Liability Act 2002 (Tas) removes liability for the obvious risks of a dangerous recreational activity, and the recreational-services provisions of the Australian Consumer Law let a provider exclude the consumer guarantees for personal injury from recreational services.

A clearly written release brought to the participant's attention is generally enforceable for ordinary negligence, but not for reckless conduct. A parent cannot waive a child's claim, so use a minor's form as consent and assumption of risk and keep insurance in place.
