Our parties take place on stolen Indigenous land. We would like to pay our respects to the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people whose land upon which we operate. We pay respect to their elders past, present and emerging.
Dear party-goer,
Dear party-goer,
We want you to feel safe and to be safe at our events and operate the following Safe Spaces Policy. The most important thing we want you to know is that if something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, no matter how minor it seems, you can report it to us.
Harassment of anyone will not be tolerated and will result in being asked to leave.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments or attitudes related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion; deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of the event, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
Please know that we view neither ignorance or intoxication as an excuse for unacceptable behaviour.
If you feel you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the security at the event immediately.
The team will be happy to help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event.
While we would like to feel that we offer an environment in which you can voice concerns about incidents as and when they happen we also welcome you to reach out to us to inform us of past harassment or incidents related to our events which made you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
We also accept that we are not above our own policies so please know all of the above applies to all members of the Orbit team, event staff and security staff in equal measure. Furthermore if there are ever any aspects of our events including our communication, artwork, performances, event partners which you feel is offensive or makes you uncomfortable please inform us.
