The Sidney Myer Music Bowl is largely comprised of grass areas, with paths running across the lawn and throughout the wider Kings Domain Gardens. These paths form ramp access to the Bowl, allowing entry to all sections of the venue.

Getting around this venue can be challenging for wheelchair users and visitors with limited mobility, due to the varied and uneven gradient of paths and terrain.  The path from Linlithgow Ave to Gate 1 is a compact gravel path on an incline that not all guests find easy to navigate. 

The Sidney Myer Music Bowl has a golf buggy available that the venue team can operate should you require assistance getting from Linlithgow Ave to the venue entrance. The golf buggy seats up to 2 people plus the driver and is not able to be pre-booked. Please seek out the venue team located on Linlithgow Avenue, around the base of the path that leads to Gate 1, when you arrive, should you need to use this service. They will be wearing orange hi-vis vests.

An accessible entrance is available at Gate 1 – which is near the part of Linlithgow Avenue that runs parallel to St Kilda Rd. Gate 1 is up the hill, in front of the King George Monument.

Once inside the venue, the pathway leading down to the seated stalls area has a gradient at 1:5. The venue team are unable to handle wheelchairs directly but they can act as a spotter. There are no tactile ground surface indicators installed prior to steps in Stalls seating.

Spaces for wheelchair or scooter users are available in the stalls and balcony sections of the Bowl, all with companion seating available. For general admission performances these seats cannot be reserved, but are held for patrons with access requirements. Venue staff will be available to assist in finding these seats.

For ticketed performances, these accessible seats can be booked by calling Ticketek's Accessible Seating booking line on 1300 665 915.

Accessible toilets are located at the rear of the Stalls and near Gate 1, behind the lawn.

Venue staff will be stationed at the site entry on Linlithgow Avenue, the Gate 1 Entry and at various posts inside the venue. Please reach out if you need help at any time. Staff can be identified by their bright orange ACM-branded hi-vis vests.

Assistive listening devices are available for use throughout all sections of the Bowl and are free of charge. Connection can be achieved with standard headphones or with hearing aids via a neck loop. Devices can be borrowed from the Cloak Room at the entrance to the venue. Photo ID will be required when borrowing.

Seating can be arranged to accommodate needs of concertgoers who are blind or have low vision. For ticketed performances, please call Ticketek's Accessible Seating booking line on 1300 665 915. For general admission concerts, please speak to staff members at the entrance to the venue or in the Stalls section upon arrival.

Guide dogs and service animals are welcome at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Please speak to a staff member at the entrance who will be able to assist you with the best place to sit to ensure that both yourself and your assistance animal are comfortable.

There are four 4-hour wheelchair accessible parking spaces available on Linlithgow Avenue at the bottom of Gate 1. These are first-come, first-served and cannot be reserved.
