Accessibility and inclusion

We do everything we can to make our events and material as inclusive and accessible as possible. This is an ever-evolving process, so we welcome any ideas, comments, suggestions or responses you wish to share that might help us continue to deliver programming that is truly for everybody by emailing info@mpavilion.org.

MPavilion staff are onsite during events to assist with any accessibility queries. Please come and chat with us if you have any questions.


Auslan interpreter 

Need an Auslan interpreter? We can book one for you for individual events. If you would like to attend an event and require an Auslan interpreter, or another form of audio accessibility, email us at info@mpavilion.org, please note we require a minimum of one week’s notice in advance. There are very few qualified Auslan interpreters in the industry, so we cannot guarantee their availability. 

Headphones, tablets and other devices used to assist with communication are welcome.


wheelchair access

There is wheelchair access from the paved paths in the park to MPavilion 2021, with a short distance on the grass to reach the structure.

From the nearest parking/taxi drop-off point on St Kilda Road, it is approximately 60 steps to reach the MPavilion. 

Information on how to get to MPavilion can be found here.


accessible toilet

Accessible bathrooms are located in the Queen Victoria Gardens on Linlithgow Avenue.


seating

Limited seating is available inside MPavilion, with extra seating added for scheduled events. Please inform onsite staff if you have essential seating requirements. If you have accessibility requirements—including audio and visual requirements—or if you need to reserve seating for individual events, please email us in advance at info@mpavilion.org.


assistance animals

Assistance animals are always welcome to accompany owners to events at MPavilion.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
