Sensory support

As a working Parliament, Australian Parliament House can be a busy and noisy place to visit. Public areas may contain:

• division bells which sound to call Members and Senators to the Chambers
• audio visual displays
• large groups of people and background noise.

To support sensory needs visitors may like to bring noise-cancelling headphones and other support items. If you need any assistance to locate quiet spaces during your visit, please contact Visitor Services staff at the Information Desk.
