Accessibility

The conference venue is the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, Parkville Victoria.

• Using a scooter, wheelchair or walking aid will not be a problem on the Parkville campus. All major theaters and classrooms are wheelchair accessible. However, since the University retains some old buildings, some buildings may not have a lift to the second floor.
• Most of the theatres don’t have a special seat for wheelchair users or a seat with a large space. However, all theatres have on area near the entrance which has more space that is big enough for a wheelchair.
• Most buildings have a wheelchair accessible toilet. But some don’t. There is a Parkville disability access map. Most accessible buildings will also have an accessible toilet and lift.
• You can check disabled parking options on the disabled parking spaces map.
• The accessible entrance to building is usually near the stairs. However, in some cases it is in a different place from the main entrance. Before going to classes, it is a good idea to take a tour and find out the accessible route on campus.
• All libraries are accessible with lifts and an accessible toilet. If you are a wheelchair user, borrowing books and using computers will not be a problem.
• Many low floor trams go to University of Melbourne. The stop is right in front of the Sidney Myer Asia Centre on Swanston street.
