There will be regulation spaces available on upper level of the Convention Centre.  There will a quiet room and an active movement room. 

There are accessible toilets at the Convention Centre and we will have a personal care room with a change table and mobile hoist.  You will need to bring your own slings to use with the hoist.

Conference presenters have been provided with guidelines around increasing accessibility of their presentations. 

There will be captioning on the presentations.  The captioning will be generated by AI.  This means that at times, there may be some errors with how accurately the text is transcribed. 

There will be communication boards available around the conference.  Please ensure you also bring your personal communication system. 

There will be an accessible map available at front reception and also on the conference app. 

Conference volunteers will be wearing orange vests so you can identify who they are. 

Conference volunteers have been provided with
introductory communication access training and
will be wearing a lanyard with some communication symbols.

Meals can be modified to suit different texture requirements.  Please speak to the conference managers about your texture modification requirements. 

 

There may be lines for food and beverages during breaks.  This is difficult to avoid.  If you would prefer to wait to avoid the line, please know that the food and beverage stations will be topped up during the breaks, so you won’t miss out. 

There will be some limited seating available, including lounges and coffee tables set up in quieter areas. Please let a volunteer know if the seating option you need is not available.  We will do our best to try to provide enough for everyone, but this may not be possible. 

Staff at the Convention Centre have been provided with information about communicating with people with communication disability but not all staff at the Convention Centre have received communication access training.
