Tools for events, meetings, and training sessions

All UTS event organisers are responsible for ensuring they provide accessible and inclusive events.

As an event organiser, it’s recommended that you ensure you:

  • explain the accessible features/provisions your event will have available.
  • provide an opportunity for your audience to request their access requirements (if not already covered in the access provisions available), by asking them as part of their event registration.

Training programs

As part of our commitment to creating a sustainable and socially just society, UTS runs a series of training programs for our staff to increase awareness and build leadership capacity. For information about disability-related current training go to Diversity and inclusion training or contact UTS Diversity and Inclusion Training Coordinator Arif Ongu at Arif.Ongu@uts.edu.au who can help organise training and development specially designed for your work area.

Accessible events and meetings checklists

Checklists can be used to assist in covering access requirements during the design and planning stage:
