Do I have to have public liability insurance for my shave event?
The Leukaemia Foundation has standard public liability insurance of $20 million which covers standard fundraising including World’s Greatest Shave – as long as you stick to all the event policies.
Your venue will also need to have its own public liability insurance.
If your venue needs proof of your cover, click here to contact us and we’ll send you a copy of the insurance.
Why do I have to agree to the waiver?
It’s a requirement of our insurance cover that we have clear policies, and make everyone aware of the health and safety aspects of the event.
The risks with this event are very minor – including cuts, breathing in hair spray, allergic reaction to hair spray, being in a busy place with lots of other people…
Don’t worry, it’s really very safe as long as you use common sense and follow the policies in the “how to” guide on this site.
Is there an age limit – how old do you have to be?
There is no age limit to participating. If you are under 18, you must get permission from a parent or guardian and your school before participating. Click here to download the consent form.
Do I need to send the Under 18 consent form to the Leukaemia Foundation?
No it’s just a record for you to prove you have permission from your parent and school, in case questions arise after you’ve shaved. So keep it in a safe place for reference.
