Multiple Metro Tasmania bus routes stop at this interchange, and along Collins Street. 3. Guests can also arrive by taxi; however, please note the area directly in front of the hotel is a clear way zone, so taxis may need to drop passengers slightly before or after the entrance.

Captions and Auslan Interpretation

Open captions will be provided on the day by a stenographer - we will have a screen at the front of the room where these will be displayed. You can also choose to access the captions link on your own device. We can provide an Auslan interpreter upon request - this is an option available upon registration.

Quite space

Outside the training room, there are couches with various seating options - throughout the day, it is a quiet place to take a break. If you need a break, you can use this space at any time during the day. We also have a sensory box available in the main training room for all participants' use.

Digital and Print Resources

Our training handbook will be provided in both print and digital formats. If you would like a large print version or an alternative format, please let us know. All digital versions will be provided in an accessible Word document.

Bathrooms

Breaks

We will provide formal breaks every 90 minutes during the day. You are welcome to take more breaks than this or use the sensory space at any time - we are happy to chat with you about any areas you may have missed during the training, and all materials are also covered in our handbook.
