Safety at MLX
At MLX we strive to create an event where everyone feels safe and free to enjoy themselves. We won’t tolerate any form of unacceptable behaviour and encourage you to report anything that breaches our code of conduct.
If you need to speak to a safety officer urgently during the event, you will be able to call the MLX safe spaces phone number 0493 884 838, but for now, please contact us via email or via our anonymous online form.
NEED HELP?
If you are injured, feel uncomfortable or unsafe, or are experiencing or witnessing inappropriate behaviour, please let us know immediately. We will take urgent action. We will handle your complaint with absolute seriousness and in the strictest confidence.
At our events, you can approach:
-
the safe spaces officer
-
the event manager
-
our volunteers at the front desk
-
our roaming volunteers.
The event manager and the safe spaces officer will handle your issue with care.
If you do not feel comfortable speaking to someone while you are at the event itself, please contact us at mlxsafespace@gmail.com.
We also have an anonymous feedback form for issues relating to the Code of Conduct.
CODE OF CONDUCT
MLX has a code of conduct that applies to all attendees so everyone can feel safe and enjoy themselves. This applies to everyone, including dancers, musicians, staff members, DJs and volunteers.
To protect our attendees, we may warn, eject or ban anyone breaching the code of conduct. You can report breaches of the code.
REPORTS
Whether it's a breach of the code, or anything else you think we should know, there are multiple ways to report an issue that you’d like the MLX safe spaces officers to be aware of.
You can report in person, via phone/text, email or fill in an anonymous form online. You can report at any time, including before and after an event.

MLX POLICIES
ALCOHOL POLICY
There is no BYO alcohol at MLX. Our events will have a bar on-site.
ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES POLICY
Attendees are not to bring illegal substances or items to any MLX event. This includes illicit drugs and weapons of any sort. Please familiarise yourself with the relevant Victorian laws if you are from interstate or overseas. If you are behaving inappropriately as a result of substance use, we reserve the right to remove you from the event.
UNACCOMPANIED MINORS POLICY
As MLX has licensed events, we are legally restricted from having minors attend without a parent or guardian.
All licensed or late night events require a parent or parent-appointed guardian to be in attendance at the event for all attendees under the age of 18 for the entire time that the minor attendee is at the event. It is the responsibility of the parent of any minor to organise this before the event. We are not able to stand in proxy for parents.
Accommodation and transport for minors should also be organised by parents before the event so that they are comfortable with the arrangements and the minor feels safe in the environment in which they are placed.
Minors will be required to wear an identifying item (wristband, etc.) provided by MLX to allow licensed venues and other attendees to identify them.
