What’s On
Sensory Space
The Inclusion Project will be facilitating the Sensory Space at UTAS Stadium - made possible by Variety, the Children’s Charity VIC. This is supported by an Occupational Therapist and lived experience staff member, who will be available to assist fans with strategies to make the game more accessible.
The Sensory Space will be open as the gates open, for the duration of the match.
Sensory Space location: In 2026 our Sensory Room has moved location due to the redevelopment works at UTAS Stadium.
The Sensory Space is now located beneath the Western Stand, and will be shared with the parenting room. The room is located behind the HawkNest store on the concourse.
We will also have our Inclusion Project Officers at main entrances to assist if you require during the match.
