Accessibility

Your visit to QPAC may involve some stairs. If you use a wheelchair or require assistance due to mobility difficulties, please call 136 246 to book accessible seating.

Each theatre has lifts which assist patrons with mobility difficulties to access all foyers.

QPAC has a number of wheelchairs available for patron use. These are available from staff at each designated visitor drop off area listed below.

Patrons in wheelchairs or who have difficulty walking can be set down at the designated drop off zones on Grey St (both southbound and northbound). The southbound drop off zone just outside QPAC is the best option for Lyric Theatre, Concert Hall and Cremorne Theatre performances.

There is also a PWD drop zone accessible on Russell Street, which is best for Playhouse performances. Although Russell St is currently closed to general traffic due to construction works, PWD drop off is still available via traffic control attendants.

Please be aware that the set down areas have limited capacity and we recommend you allow sufficient time for possible delays.

After dropping off in these zones, parking is then available in all car parks close to QPAC, see the map above for directions to access these options.

Parking for people with mobility difficulties is available in all car parks.

All QPAC venues have dedicated seating options for patrons in wheelchairs and their guests.

In order to ensure the best possible experience, it is essential we obtain all necessary information at the time of booking. For this reason, bookings for wheelchair seating can only be made in person at the Box Office or by calling 136 246.

Wheelchair accessible toilets are located on ground level, Mezzanine, Lower Minstrel and Levels 2 and 4 of the Lyric Theatre and Concert Hall foyers and Level 1 for the Playhouse and Cremorne Theatre foyers.

QPAC is an affiliate of the Queensland Government's Companion Card program. A Companion Card is issued to people with a disability who have a lifelong need for attendant care support in order to participate in community activities and attend venues.

As an affiliate of the Companion Card program, QPAC provides Companion Card holders with a second ticket for their chosen companion at no cost.

Access to the Companion Card program is only available to Companion Card holders when booking tickets in person at the Box Office, or calling 136 246. The cardholder must provide their Companion Card details when making bookings.
