The First Aid department is based in the OVO Hydro Lounge on the main concourse near the west entrance. First Aid stations are also located in the main auditorium.

Please bear in mind that First Aid is for emergency situations only and first aiders are not authorised to dispense prescribed medication. Delegates who take prescribed medication are advised to bring it with them.

While the venue is accessible and seating for the elderly and infirm is provided, the convention is unable to provide facilities for those with special needs, such as quiet spaces or fragrance-free areas. If you have a serious health issue and are concerned about how you will cope at the convention, please discuss this with your local elders.

The convention program will be broadcast by FM Radio over a short distance covering the convention venue.

The FM frequency is 87.7 MHz.

Bringing modest food & drink provisions allows us time to enjoy association before and after each session. Note: no metal knives, cutlery or scissors are allowed at the venue.
