Section 63 — Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW)

The protection from personal liability conferred on a volunteer by this Part in connection with any community work does not apply if—
(a) the ability of the volunteer to exercise reasonable care and skill when doing the work was significantly impaired by reason of the volunteer being under the influence of alcohol or a drug voluntarily consumed (whether or not it was consumed for medication), and
(b) the volunteer failed to exercise reasonable care and skill when doing the work.
