We run a small equipment hire service aimed at student and fringe theatre hirers.

Two hire rates are available — one for Student Union members and another for non members.

Hirers should contact the Head Technician (Clynton Jones 8344 3624) or the Production Manager (Gus Macdonald 8344 4839) to check availability of equipment and hire costs.

We prefer a week’s notice to quote and prepare your hire. Short notice hires can only be accommodated if staff are available to assist you.

  • Hires are generally only available for collection or return between 10am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
  • The hirer needs to seek instructions on where to go to collect or return equipment.
  • We do not provide transport for equipment hire. Most hires are dispensed via the Union Theatre loading bay on Union road. A twenty minute pass can be requested from the gate keeper at Gate 1, Tin Alley (corner Swanston and Elgin Streets) for this purpose.
  • Hire contracts will be signed and issued when the hire is collected and an invoice sent to the hirer once equipment is returned.

Please note: a deposit may be required for non Student Union members.
