Legal Information

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?

What are the risks?

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.
