We are always looking for ways we can improve access and inclusion across the event to ensure it is a safe, welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone. You can find key accessibility information about specific events and venues on the individual event pages below.
This year we’ve worked closely with specialist access consultants – Architecture & Access – to help us improve the accessibility of our event spaces. We’ve also engaged Akii Ngo who works in the advocacy space with people with disabilities to provide training on working with models with disabilities.
M/FW ’22 will be incorporating the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme assisting those with hidden disabilities. People who need assistance can wear a Sunflower symbol so trained staff can offer help. Email mfw@melbourne.vic.gov.au to pre-order your sunflower lanyard, or collect one City of Melbourne Tourism Hubs at Melbourne Town Hall, Bourke Street Mall, Fitzroy Gardens and Queen Victoria Market or from any ticketing counter during the event.
If you have any questions relating to accessibility, please don’t hesitate to contact us at mfw@melbourne.vic.gov.au or speak to one of our helpful staff members at the event. We can also be contacted via the National Relay Service on 1300 555 727.
