Scarlet Alliance National Forum 2023 – Gadigal Land (Sydney)

COVID-19 is still circulating in the community and can have devastating impacts to our communities, particularly those with pre-existing and/or chronic health conditions.

We ask that people who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last seven days, have been in close contact to anyone who has tested positive, or if you have cold or flu-like symptoms, to not attend the National Forum.

We will be providing N95 masks (or similar) for attendees to use, but mask use is not mandatory.

This year’s venue is a large multi-use space that will have different areas set aside for different uses, including a balcony. It has moveable partitions that will allow us to configure the space and hold concurrent workshops, however this means that noise will be an issue. We encourage people with audio sensitives to bring earplugs and/or noise cancelling headphones; and for attendees to be mindful of their impact on others.

There are 2 single person soundproof booths that will be for use by people who need to utilise supports (such as a phone counsellor). There are also cafes and a park nearby for people who need a “time out” from the conference space.

SWOP NSW is also located a 700m walk from the conference venue and will have a quiet space and peer workers available for support.

There are two lifts to the venue that will allow people with mobility needs to access the conference, and the space is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets onsite.

We will provide a floor plan and full venue information to confirmed registrants. If you need further venue information in order to determine if you are able to attend, please contact us at info@scarletalliance.org.au.
