FIT TO TRAVEL?

• We have a duty of care to all tour participants and the tour guides, so we do impose a policy on the level of fitness required by all our clients to attempt to ensure your safety and the safety of other travellers on our tours.

• At Australian Womens Travel, our goal is for all our travellers to enjoy their tour, not struggle through it.  Which is why we want to work with you to ensure you are comfortable. We do reserve the right to refuse bookings if we feel that the requirements of the tour are too demanding.

• We rely on the information you provide in the Medical Conditions section of the Booking Form and our ‘Fit to Travel?’ form completed as part of your booking request, and as updated as necessary. You warrant that the information you provide is accurate and there are no other medical issues (both physical/mental) that may impact your ability to participate in the tour without the need for special assistance.

• Australian Womens Travel, reserves the right to exclude any person from a tour if Australian Womens Travel, acting reasonably, is of the opinion that the individual requires special assistance for a condition not previously fully disclosed.  

• If your circumstances change following your completion of the ‘Fit to Travel?’ form, then you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible, and in any circumstance prior to travel. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if your changed circumstances mean you will require special assistance from Australian Womens Travel personnel during the tour. We suggest that your travel insurance (which you are obliged to have in place under these Terms) includes comprehensive cancellation coverage.

• Australian Womens Travel will not be liable for any damage, injury, death or loss of any kind arising from your failure to disclose relevant medical information.
