• A Responsible Adult is defined as an adult who is:

  • A parent or guardian of the minor 

  • The minor's spouse or de facto partner

  • Temporarily standing in as the parent of the minor

• Minors not accompanied by a Responsible Adult will may be denied entry into the festival and campgrounds and may be removed from these areas.

• Children aged 9 and under are admitted to the festival and campgrounds free of charge but must be accompanied by a Responsible Adult who holds a full price ticket at all times.

• Minors aged 10 or older must purchase a ticket.

 

SUPERVISION RATIO

• Each Responsible Adult may accompany a maximum of two (2) minors. This supervision ratio ensures adequate care and attention for each minor.

 

RESPONSIBLE ADULTS

• It is the obligation of the Responsible Adult to ensure that they, and all Minors accompanying them, comply with the festival's Terms & Conditions of  Sale and Entry, instructions issued by festival staff, and the Youth Policy.

• All festival patrons must follow any instructions contained in all permanent and temporary signage throughout the festival site.

• Minors must not engage in any illegal or disruptive activities at any time whilst at the festival or in the campgrounds. This includes underage drinking, use of illicit substances, or any disruptive or illegal behaviour. Any breach of these conditions may result in the eviction of the Responsible Adult and all accompanying Minors from the festival and campgrounds, and Police prosecution or fines may apply.

 

CONSIDERATIONS FOR RESPONSIBLE ADULTS

If you are a Responsible Adult planning to accompany Minors at the festival and campgrounds, please consider the following:

• Alcohol intake must be moderated to ensure that you can responsibly take care of any Minors in your care.

• The Minors must be with you at all times whilst you are at the festival or in the campgrounds.

• Anyone who is considering being a nominated Responsible Adult or bringing Minors to the festival should consider this responsibility very carefully. If you are unable to commit to the above, you should reconsider whether you are the right person to be bringing or accompanying Minors to the festival and campgrounds.

• All attendees, regardless of age, should provide valid identification upon entry.

• For Minors without a driver's license or passport, acceptable forms of ID include:
