The Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Act 2015 (Sarah Act) seeks to mitigate fears around risk and liability that may prevent individuals from volunteering, aiding others, or taking action in emergencies. It provides a layer of legal reassurance, ensuring that the context and intent behind such altruistic actions are considered by the courts in case of legal proceedings.

This legislative measure aims to foster a societal environment where people feel empowered and protected when contributing to the welfare of others or intervening in crisis situations, thereby promoting a culture of responsibility, heroism, and community support.
