All prices are displayed on the website, including any family or promotional pricing. Future packages and promotions will also be listed on the website. There are no late payment fees, and all prices includes taxes where applicable under Australian law. Once payment is processed, you will receive confirmation via email, and the price displayed at the time of booking will apply to that specific booking. Pricing is subject to change for future bookings.
5. CANCELLATIONS
You may cancel your booking by emailing info@myfishingtrip.net. If you provide at least 1 day’s notice before the lesson start time, you will receive full credit to your account valid for 12 months to book another lesson. Cancellations with less than 1 day’s notice will not receive credit.
The school may cancel lessons due to approaching storms, heavy rain, winds over 17 knots, instructor unavailability, or other safety reasons. You will be notified by email or text message, the evening prior when reasonably possible. In such cases, you will receive full credit or the option to rebook the same lesson on any other available day. No cash refunds are provided - credit only. The school is not responsible for any travel, accommodation, or other costs you may incur due to cancellations.
6. AGE & PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
The minimum age for participation is 8 years. By booking lessons for participants under 18 years ("Minors"), Parents and legal guardians ("Parents/Guardians") confirm they consent on behalf of their Minor and have authority to bind both themselves and the Minor to these Terms.
Parents/Guardians are fully responsible for their Minor’s safety and supervision outside of direct lesson instruction periods. The school is not responsible for Minors during toilet breaks, when running, playing games, walking on the beach, or any other unsupervised activities. Parents/Guardians must assess whether their child is ready to participate without constant supervision.
Pick-up and drop-off will be recorded in a signed register. No ID checks will be conducted. Parents/Guardians confirm that only suitable adults will collect Minors from lessons. If a Minor leaves the group without permission or becomes unattended despite instructions, this remains the Parent/Guardian’s responsibility.
7. HEALTH, FITNESS AND PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES
There are no specific health, fitness, or swimming requirements for participation, as all lessons are land-based and do not involve entering the water, boats, rocks, or open-water activities. By booking a lesson, you confirm that you (or the Minor you are booking for) are physically able to take part in outdoor activities for the duration of the lesson (60–150 minutes) and can follow instructions safely in a group setting.
Participants and, in the case of Minors, their Parents/Guardians are responsible for ensuring appropriate sun protection and hydration. Each participant must arrive with suitable sun-protective clothing, a hat, sunscreen already applied, drinking water, and any snacks they may need. The school does not provide sunscreen, hats, water, or food. Reminders to drink water, keep hats on, and take two short breaks during longer sessions will be given, but the school is not responsible for sunburn, dehydration, or heat-related illness where these requirements are not followed.
8. SAFETY BRIEFING, RULES AND BEHAVIOUR
Each lesson begins with a safety briefing covering the use of fishing gear, group behaviour, sun safety and general conduct at the lesson location. By attending a lesson, you agree to listen to and follow all instructions given by the instructor at all times.
Participants must behave safely and respectfully towards the instructor and other students. Bullying, fighting, aggressive behaviour, refusing to follow safety directions, throwing or misusing equipment, or creating an unsafe environment may result in the participant being asked to sit out or removed from the lesson, with no entitlement to a refund or credit. Running and games may occur as part of the activities, but participants must stay within the designated area and remain with the group during instruction. If a child leaves the group, runs off or fails to follow safety instructions, this remains the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian.
9. EQUIPMENT
All fishing equipment required for the lesson, including rods, reels, tackle and bait, is supplied by the school. Personal fishing gear is not required and is generally not permitted, as it may cause disruption or safety issues. Participants must use all equipment with care and only as directed by the instructor. If equipment is damaged or lost due to careless or improper use, the school may, at its discretion, ask the Participant or Parent/Guardian to contribute to reasonable repair or replacement costs on case-by-case basis.
10. INSTRUCTOR QUALIFICATIONS AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The school is operated by a sole trader with 25 years of recreational fishing experience and 9 years working in the fishing industry teaching children and beginners. The instructor holds a current Working with Children Check as required under Western Australian law for activities involving minors.
A first aid kit is available at all lessons. For minor injuries, first aid will be applied where appropriate and the lesson may continue if safe to do so. For serious injuries or where a participant wishes to leave early, parents/guardians will be notified immediately, and all incidents will be documented in writing with parent/guardian signature required. If a participant requires ambulance or medical attention, parents/guardians are responsible for any associated costs.
11. WEATHER, LOCATION RISKS AND CANCELLATIONS
Lessons take place at public parks and beaches in the Dampier/Karratha area with no water access. The primary risks are sunburn and tripping hazards on sand or uneven surfaces. Participants accept these environmental risks by attending the lessons.
The school reserves the right to cancel lessons due to approaching storms, heavy rain, winds exceeding 17 knots, or other unsafe conditions. Where possible, notification will be sent by email or text the evening prior when reasonably possible. Cancellations for instructor unavailability follow the same credit/rebooking process outlined in Section 4.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Fishing lessons involve inherent risks including sunburn, dehydration, trips/falls on sand/uneven surfaces, minor cuts from fishing gear, and other injuries typical of outdoor recreational activities. Parents/Guardians booking for Minors (under 18) MUST acknowledge and accept ALL these risks on behalf of their child.
By booking and attending lessons, Parents/Guardians confirm:
1. They have assessed their Minor is physically capable of participating safely for 60-150 minutes in outdoor conditions
2. They accept FULL RESPONSIBILITY for their Minor's safety outside direct instructor supervision (toilet breaks, running, beach play, etc.)
3. They will ensure their Minor arrives with sun-protective clothing, hat, pre-applied sunscreen, water, and snacks
4. Sunburn, heat illness, or dehydration resulting from inadequate preparation remains their responsibility
LEGAL RELEASE (Australian Consumer Law s139A): Parents/Guardians expressly release the school from all liability for death or personal injury to their Minor resulting from inherent risks of recreational fishing lessons.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the school excludes liability for:
• Any personal injury/death from inherent risks
• Property damage to personal items
• Economic loss (travel costs, lost time, etc.)
• Injuries from failure to follow safety instructions
• Injuries when Minors are unsupervised outside instructor control
Public Liability Insurance: The school holds public liability insurance of $10M. This covers School negligence only and does NOT cover Parent/Guardian failures in supervision, preparation, following instructions, or harm resulting out of the supervision of the school.
13. PRIVACY AND GOVERNING LAW
By booking lessons for any Minor, Parents/Guardians expressly authorize the school to collect, store, and use their personal information AND their Minor's personal information (names, ages, contact details, emergency contacts, medical information if provided, photos/videos) strictly for lesson delivery, safety management, communication, and marketing purposes as outlined in these Terms.
Parents/Guardians confirm and accept:
• Collection is mandatory for booking and safety compliance
• Information will NOT be sold or shared with third parties except as required by law
• Access requests may be made to info@myfishingtrip.net (response within 30 days)
• Information may be retained for 7 years after last lesson for legal/safety records
