Accessibility

Everyone enjoying here.

Making sure Confluence is a safe and accessible place for everyone is of paramount importance to us. In addition to mitigating physical barriers to entry, we design our spaces and what happens in here to be safer for all our visitors.  

​On a daily basis we encourage conversations about our approach to mitigating accessibility barriers, including addressing non-physical or subtle normalisations that remain prevalent in our wider society.

​We do not know or pretend to have all the answers, but we always try to learn and adapt to our community and wider needs of society. We adhere to all official advice and laws for businesses like ours operating in NZ, and also expect personal responsibility from our visitors and customers towards maintaining these and helping us work toward our values . Confluence is also happy to be part of the Safe Space Alliance. 

Here's some information you may find useful, but you can also call Confluence on (06) 2813474 anytime to speak with Melita or Kevin. ​

Access requirements

Confluence strives for equal access to everything happening here. Everyone faces challenges or other factors that can influence how and when they are able to access places, and we want to make sure these  never stop people from safely being able to attend Confluence.

If you require wheelchair access or have other special access requirements then please call us or contact your event organiser beforehand. Our commitment is that every event happening at Confluence will have space and facilities available for all levels of accessibility. We can provide advice on nearby parking facilities or public transport options.

If you have specific dietary needs and are attending a catered event then please contact us and/or your event organiser whenever you can before the event. ​

If you have hearing difficulties and are attending Confluence for a presentation, then please select a seat near the middle front, or ask for the best available when collecting your tickets.

Should you be a carer for babies or very young children and are attending an event at Confluence then there is space to park strollers or prams, plus adequate bathroom and other private spaces if required. Confluence welcomes breastfeeding parents.

Since the 2019 global pandemic impacted people's ability to be together in the same physical spaces, we have continually sought and followed official NZ government advice for businesses like Confluence. Where there has been choice in the approach we are committed to our customer's safety over income and so in addition to other measures, we also choose the more restrictive operational requirements whenever it is possible. 

The list above is not intended to be exhaustive, so please do contact us if there are any other requirements or questions you you'd like answered before attending coworking, a film, or an event at Confluence.

You can call us anytime on (06) 2813474 (out of hours answer service), and we can help arrange onsite parking or other logistics.
