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.
