House Rules

Because Ainslie+Gorman are both heritage-listed homes to a wonderfully diverse community, we’ve got a few guidelines to keep things safe and civilised.

  • No smoking anywhere on the premises.
  • No naked flames, candles, sparklers or fancy fire twirling (sorry, pyro enthusiasts).
  • We love animals, but only registered service animals are permitted onsite.
  • Photography and videography are no-go’s unless you’ve been given the green light by centre management.
  • And please, tidy up after yourselves — it makes everyone’s life easier.
