Hearing Loop

If you require hearing assistive technology in a venue managed by UNSW Venues and Events, please contact Venues and Events to confirm your requirements as different technologies are in use across event spaces. There are venues and event spaces on campus that do not have hearing assistive technology available, these spaces are typically small rooms where voice amplification is not required. If an attendee has this requirement, additional equipment can be hired.
