Accessible Entry is available to anyone who would benefit from extra assistance when arriving at the festival.

This might include help with mobility, sensory needs, medical requirements, navigating the site or simply getting through the entry process comfortably. 

You don't need to have pre-registered to use Accessible Entry.

If you've already registered for an accessibility service, our team can also confirm your arrangements when you arrive.

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes.

If you attend with a full-time carer or companion, Good Things will provide one complimentary companion ticket.

Our team will arrange your companion ticket and confirm everything with you before the festival.

Is there be an Accessible viewing platform?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes.

Accessible Viewing Platforms are available at each festival and provide an elevated viewing area for patrons who would benefit from a dedicated viewing space, including people using wheelchairs, mobility scooters or other mobility aids.

Capacity is limited, so registration before the festival is essential.

Do I need to register for the Accessible viewing platform?

keyboard_arrow_down

We strongly recommend registering in advance as like the festival and all concerts, the capacity and spaces are strictly limited.

This helps us manage capacity safely and ensures we can plan for the number of people wanting to use the platform.

Patrons wishing to use the Accessible Viewing Platform should register here before the event.

Access is available on a first registered, first allocated basis.

Once your registration has been approved, you'll receive confirmation before the festival.

If you need to use an Accessible Viewing Platform on the day but haven't pre-registered, please visit the Accessible Entry when you arrive. We'll do our best to support you, subject to available space.

Can my companion join me on the Accessible Viewing Platform?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes.

Each approved Accessible Viewing Platform registration includes two wristbands, so you and one companion can enjoy the festival together.

Do you need to sit sometimes throughout the day?

keyboard_arrow_down

We get that standing for long periods isn't comfortable or possible for everyone.

You're welcome to bring your own fully collapsible chair or seat to help you take a break throughout the day.

Your chair or seat must:

  • Be fully collapsible
  • Be no larger than 100cm x 80cm when set up and ready for use

For the easiest entry experience, please bring your chair or seat through the Accessible Entry.

Chairs and seats cannot be used to reserve spaces in general admission areas or block walkways, entrances or access routes. Our team may ask you to move your chair if it creates a safety or access issue.

Is accessible parking available?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes.

Limited accessible parking is available at each venue.

As spaces are limited, accessible parking must be booked before the festival.

To request accessible parking, email accessibility@goodthingsfestival.com.au with your details, the event location you're attending, car registration and a scanned copy of your valid disability parking permit.

A valid government-issued Parking Permit must be displayed when using accessible parking.

Parking arrangements, maps and venue-specific information will be published closer to the event to help you plan your arrival.

These spaces provide a quieter place to step away from the crowds, take a break and reset before returning to enjoy the festival.

Do you provide sensory kits?
