ANU Venue Hire

Central Teaching Spaces cannot be booked prior to 6:00 pm on weekdays while the teaching timetable is being finalised. This does not include the mid-Semester break times. Once the teaching timetable is finalised, bookings can be made at any available time.

Semester One teaching timetable is usually released in early March.

Semester Two teaching timetable is usually released in early August.

Booking requests made while the teaching timetable is being finalised will be allocated to a waiting list. Our team will contact you once the teaching timetable has been released.

Food and drink is not permitted in any Central Teaching Spaces.

For further rules, regulations and restrictions, please visit ANU Venue Hire Terms and Conditions.

Step one:

• If you would like to book a teaching space, you can view the list of Central Teaching Spaces. This details the room type, capacity, available facilities and pictures of the room layout to help you identify the most suitable venue for your event.
• There are a range of venues on campus, including:
  • Computer labs (PC or MAC)
  • Flat teaching spaces (tutorial/seminar) with movable furniture
  • Tiered lecture theatres with fixed furniture

If you are looking for a venue not managed by ANU Venue Hire, please refer to the Contacts for Other Venues list.

Step two:

• Fill in the Venue HIre Request Form with details of the booking. Once completed the form will be automatically submitted to the Venue Hire team and you will receive a confirmation email of your request. Please note the form submission email is not a confirmation of booking. The Venue Hire will notify you a separate booking confirmation email.
• If any further details are required from you, or the chosen room/date/timeslot are unavailable, the Venue Hire team will contact you via the email used to submit the form.

• You may be required to fill in the Function on campus - Power Apps before the actual event is approved to take place.

  If you are ANU Staff - FoC Application

  Departmental meetings do not require an FoC Application. Everything else (public lectures, social gatherings, festivals, stalls, training sessions, etc.) requires a Functions on Campus Application.

  Staff are able to host events with liquor if it is staff-supplied and an RSA holder is present at the function.

  If you are ANU Student - FoC Application

  All student functions require an FoC Application. Applications must be sponsored by a University department, ANUSA or an affiliation organisation (e.g. ANU Sport).

  Students are not permitted to host BYO events with liquor.

• Functions on Campus (FoC) is the application process for holding functions on university grounds and within university facilities. Review the FoC webpage to learn more.

    • new digitalised Venue Hire Request Form,
    • booking process in general,
    • knowledge and service provided by the Venue Hire team, or
    • if the feedback does not concern the Venue Hire team but rather one of our service partners, we will pass on your feedback to deliver the best end-to-end service.

At our Campus Environment division, we pride ourselves on always striving for continuous improvement, as well as our ability to adapt to client needs.

Your feedback could enact the next improvement in our service.
