  • In consideration of being allowed to participate in activities organised by UQ Canoe Club Incorporated ("UQCC"), their employees, volunteers, members and all other persons or entities in any capacity on their behalf and to use equipment owned by UQCC. I hereby agree to release and discharge UQCC in perpetuity, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, distributes, assigns, personal representatives and estates as follows:
    • In consideration for UQ Sport and the University of Queensland Canoe Club Inc ("the Club") permitting the Participant to take part in activities organised by UQ Sport and/or the Club (the "Activities"), or to use facilities and equipment owned or operated by UQ Sport and/or the Club, the Participant agrees with UQ Sport and the Club as set out below.
      1. The Participant acknowledges that the Activities involve physical exertion and physical risk and could result in the Participant's (or another party's) death, physical injury, mental injury or other impairment.
      2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Participant voluntarily agrees to take part in the Activities at the Participant's risk.
      3. The Participant understands that the Participant may at any time refuse to take part in an Activity.
      4. The Participant warrants to UQ Sport and the Club that the Participant has informed UQ Sport and the Club in writing of the existence of any medical condition or impairment that may affect the Participant's ability to safely take part in the Activities. The Participant must inform UQ Sport and the Club in writing if any such medical condition develops or changes during the term of this Agreement.
      5. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that neither UQ Sport, the Club or their directors, officers, employees, members, activity leaders, agents or contractors will be responsible for (and the Participant forever releases UQ Sport and the Club from, holds them harmless and waives all rights in respect of) any loss or damage caused to the Participant or any other party in connection with the Activities in the nature of:
        • death or physical or mental injury;
        • the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease; or
        • the coming into existence, aggravation, acceleration or recurrence of any other condition, circumstance, occurrence, activity, form of behaviour, course of conduct or state of affairs that may be harmful to the Participant or the community or may result in harm or disadvantage to the Participant or the community,
        except where that loss or damage is caused by the reckless conduct of UQ Sport or the Club.
      6. For the avoidance of doubt, UQ Sport and/or the Club and their directors, officers, employees, members, activity leaders, agents and contractors will not be liable for any loss or damage of a kind described in clauses 5(a) to (c) above which is caused by their negligent conduct, unless that conduct is also reckless conduct.
      7. For the purposes of this Agreement, conduct of a party is "reckless conduct" if the party is aware, or should reasonably have been aware, of a significant risk that the conduct could result in personal injury to another person and the party engages in the conduct despite the risk and without adequate justification.
      8. Where UQ Sport or the Club provides equipment for the use of the Participant or others taking part in the Activities, the Participant agrees that neither UQ Sport or the Club will be liable to the Participant for any loss or damage caused by the use or misuse of that equipment, except where UQ Sport or the Club is in breach of a statutory guarantee granted to the Participant under Part 3-2 of the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or the liability cannot otherwise be excluded or limited by law.
      9. The Participant indemnifies UQ Sport and the Club and agrees to keep them indemnified in respect of any loss or damage suffered or incurred by either or both of them as a result of the Participant taking part in the Activities or using equipment supplied by UQ Sport or the Club, except to the extent that UQ Sport or the Club (or both of them) are liable for that loss or damage under this Agreement.
      10. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to exclude or limit the Participant's rights under any law that cannot be excluded or limited and this Agreement is to be read and construed accordingly.

The Participant understands that there are risks of becoming seriously ill or injured in a remote area, far from medical care, and that UQ Sport and the Club cannot guarantee the availability of emergency medical services or transportation to medical facilities. The Participant understands that the Participant is solely responsible for all charges for medical and emergency services and rescue operations that the Participant may need.
      12. Insurance is in place that provides limited cover to the Participant whilst the Participant is participating in any authorised or recognised club activity. The Participant may seek and obtain personal insurances over and above the cover provided by UQ Sport and the Club.
      13. The Participant declares that the Participant is, and continues to be, medically and physically fit and able to participate in any club activity. The Participant is not and must not be a danger to themselves, or to the health and safety of others. The Participant will immediately notify UQ Sport and the Club in writing of any change to his or her fitness or ability to participate. The Participant understands and accepts that UQ Sport and the Club will continue to rely upon this declaration as evidence of the Participant's fitness and ability to participate.
      14. The Participant acknowledges and consents to photographs being taken of the Participant during their participation in club activities. The Participant acknowledges that the Club owns the photographs and consents to the Club using the photographs for promotional or other purposes.

The Participant should consult their medical practitioner and the Club prior to commencing any canoeing activity.
      16. The Participant hereby confirms that the Participant is 18 years of age or older, is able to swim, and agrees to all of the above conditions in clauses 1 to 16. The Participant warrants that all information provided is true and correct.

  • Insurance Information (from UQ Sport 2025)

    Activities undertaken by an insured member that are illegal, criminal, or deemed “reckless” or “irresponsible” may void associated insurance - including if alcohol or illicit substances have been consumed.

    Hospital Cover: If an insured member requires medical treatment and has a choice of going to a public or private medical provider, then under personal accident insurance:

    • The insurance policy does not restrict the choice of provider; and

    • Costs not claimable under Medicare (Medicare benefits schedule) are claimable under the personal accident policy (any claim will be considered subject to full policy terms and conditions); BUT

    • insurers cannot pay any benefit under the policy in respect of any Medicare gap. If the out-of-pocket expenses are higher at a private medical provider for items on the Medicare benefits schedule, this will therefore increase the uninsured expenses for the covered person, and can result in the covered person having to personally fund significant out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Canoeing information
    The club needs to know which members are also members of the affiliated state and national sporting bodies, or members of other PA affiliated canoe clubs. This also has implications for insurance. It is also useful for the club to know the canoeing qualifications of members, especially formal qualifications within the Paddle Australia system.
     
  • Associated Skills and Qualifications
    It is useful to know what associated qualifications members have
     
  • In Case of Emergency - Contact information
    In the advent of an emergency it will help to know who the club should contact. We hope we never need this, but there are risks associated with canoeing, including travel to/from club events.
     
  • Volunteering
  • The club depends on volunteer members. Check the box if you are interested in volunteering to occasionally
    to help with tasks that enable the club to function. Volunteering doesn't just contribute to the club, but will
    hopefully improve your experience as well (involvement, skills, social). Without volunteers little can happen.

    HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR CLUB MEMBERSHIP
  • The club needs you to complete one  or two things for you to receive full access to the shed. 
  • 1. Check for Email Confirmation.
    If you have not received an automatic confirmatory email, then your form has probably not correctly submitted. Please resubmit the form, check your email address is correct, and contact the club if you still don't get a confirmation email. Failure to submit a form may signifcantly delay your membership as we may not be able to contact you.
  • 2. Complete a UQ Sport Swim test.
    From 2019 all members must complete a swim test before they can participate in club paddling events. These tests are held by UQ Sport at the UQ pool. You can join the club before completing this test. The test is 400m in the pool (no time limit, multiple attempts allowed). If you aren't able to complete this, please let us know and a refund will be available.
     
    SWIM TESTS ARE VALID FOR TWO YEARS - renewing members are encouraged to repeat the test at the start of the year that the test expires. Renewing membership with a swim certificate that covers the full year makes admin much easier and reduces the chance of access interuptions and admin delays during the year.
  • 3. COMPLETE THE CLUB INDUCTIONS
    Complete two club inductions (on water and off water).
      
    Renewing members are not required to repeat these if they have completed the inductions previously. Lapsed members should complete them if they have been away for over two years.
     
  •  
    If you do not receive a club welcome email with the shed code within a couple of weeks of completion, please contact membership@uqcanoeclub.net .
