ACCESSIBLE ENTRY
A dedicated accessibility gate will be open for this match. This gate will be located at Gate 3B (to the left of Gate 3 as you face the gate) and can be used by patrons with accessibility needs, including hidden disabilities.
This initiative has been designed to support feelings of safety and confidence whilst reducing anxiety, sensory stimulation and time pressures associated with entry.
Features of this gate will include:
- A slower security screening process
- Ticket scanners instead of turnstiles
- No overhead announcements or flashing signs
- Additional support from trained MCG staff – all staff are trained in access and inclusion awareness, as well as the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
- Close proximity to the Sensory Friendly Space and Changing Places bathroom
