Volunteers and Food and Other Donors (Protection from Liability) Act 2002.

The Act, under Part 2, regulates protection of volunteers from liability: a volunteer does not incur civil liability for anything that the volunteer has done in good faith when doing community work, the liability falls on the community organisation. Part 3 specifically concerns protection of food donors and grocery product donors from liability: a person (the donor) who donates food or a grocery product does not incur civil liability for any personal injury that results from the consumption of the food or the use of the grocery product when the circumstances under subsection 2 are met. The circumstances are — (a) that the donor donated the food or grocery product — (i) in good faith for a charitable or benevolent purpose; and (ii) with the intention that the consumer of the food or user of the grocery product would not have to pay for it; and (b) that the food was fit for human consumption, or the grocery product was safe to use, at the time it left the possession or control of the donor; and (c) if the food or grocery product was of a nature that required it to be handled in a particular way to ensure that it remained fit for human consumption, or safe to use, after it left the possession or control of the donor — that the donor informed the person to whom the donor gave the food or grocery product of those handling requirements; and (d) if the food or grocery product remained fit for human consumption, or safe to use, for only a limited time after it left the possession or control of the donor — that the donor informed the person to whom the donor gave the food or grocery product of that time limit.
