Events and Exhibitions

Accessible events and exhibitions are planned with access in mind from the beginning. This can include venue access, Auslan interpreting, live captioning, audio description, relaxed sessions, sensory information, accessible ticketing, transport details, clear communication and trained staff. Access is not one-size-fits-all, so it is important to provide information early and create ways for people to share their needs.

This page includes tools to support planning, delivery and evaluation of accessible events. These resources can help organisers reduce barriers, improve audience experience and create events where d/Deaf and disabled people feel welcome, expected and included.

ADNA acknowledges the lived and living experience of people with disability and their family members, carers and supporters.

We recognise the huge contribution people with lived and living experience make to ADNA's work, disability advocacy, and arts and culture in general.

ADNA uses ‘person-first language,’ emphasising the person, not the disability. As a disability-led organisation, we also embrace ‘identity-first’ language, acknowledging disability as identity.

ADNA acknowledges the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We honour their Elders past and present. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples' artistic and cultural expressions.
