The City of Ballarat’s Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre developed 'Sensory Quiet Time' trials to improve access and inclusion at the venue.

The initiative aims to address accessibility to the sport and facility for individuals with sensory anxieties and stressors, by offering quiet sessions and sensory balanced swimming lessons.

The initiative was developed with guidance from Latrobe Community Health Service, Ballarat Autism Network, and Sports Central. This collaboration continues, and the centre has also stopped playing the radio (other than during aqua aerobics via a single portable speaker). This has extended the participation opportunities of children and adults with autism and sensory issues in the centre and its programs rather than limiting it to a set time.

For more information, check out the website, or for advice on implementing a similar initiative, contact Latrobe Community Health Service.
