Macquarie University Sport and Aquatic Centre (MUSAC) is proud to introduce Quiet Hour, a new trial initiative designed to create a more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all members of our community. Quiet Hour recognises that busy, high‑sensory environments can be challenging for some people, including individuals who are neurodivergent, have sensory sensitivities, live with anxiety, or experience disability.

Bookings can be made here, and participants are welcome to book multiple sessions within their age category.
