The City of Mandurah is dedicated to providing accessible and inclusive spaces, places and events for our entire community to enjoy.
Please see below some of the accessible services being offered in the arts and culture space across the City of Mandurah.
Each year, Mandurah Arts Festival takes place across many venues around Mandurah.
For an example of some of our venues and their accessibility features, you can visit the 2024 festival venue accessibility document.
Many Mandurah Arts Festival events take place near Changing Places facilities.
Changing Places are secure, clean facilities designed for people with disability who require assistance when using the bathroom while away from home and are equipped with a ceiling hoist, an adult-size change table, and room for two support people.
There are two Changing Places facilities located in Mandurah’s city centre:
Access to Changing Places is via a Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK), ensuring these facilities remain reserved for people who need them. Companion Card holders automatically qualify for a free MLAK. If you’re not a cardholder, you may still be eligible.
Contact National Disability Services at changingplaces@nds.org.au or call 1800 617 337.
Some Mandurah Arts Festival events have a Social Story ™, which you can access via the online event listing.
A Social Story™ explains new experiences and environments to people who are autistic or have sensory sensitivities. It can be helpful for anyone who experiences nervousness when attending a place or event for the first time.
Social Stories ™ for Mandurah Arts Festival events will be linked here when they become available.
A communication board is a visual tool used by people who have difficulty with verbal communication. It contains symbols, pictures, or words that people can point to in order to convey their messages.
Communication boards have been developed for Mandurah Performing Arts Centre and for events run by the City of Mandurah. You can download these here, or you can ask your event organiser if they have a hard copy at Mandurah Arts Festival events.
