Round 22 Melbourne v Fremantle

The MCG is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone when they visit the stadium.

For details about accessible seating, parking, bathrooms, companion cards and more, visit Accessibility and Inclusion.

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
• Some matches may also include an Auslan interpreter and/or trained therapy dog (where available)

This gate will not be open for every match. The matches where the gate will be open are:

• Round 15: Richmond v North Melbourne (21/06/2026)
• Round 16: Hawthorn v GWS Giants
• Round 17: Richmond v Carlton

The G-Train operates from Yarra Park gate opening time and runs continuously throughout the match. 

Visual stories are step-by-step guides with photos used to prepare a person for, and increase the predictability of, a new environment or situation.

The MCG has a visual story that illustrates how to access the stadium, what to expect when entering and what you might experience during the match.

A Sensory Friendly Space is located within the Australian Sports Museum on Level 1 of the Olympic Stand (behind M51, inside Gate 3). This is a space for patrons of all ages who have sensory sensitivities, processing differences, or other hidden disabilities.

There are two rooms within the space offering patrons the ability to choose between quietly watching the event in a tiered theatre or using personal sensory strategies and fidgets to relax in a multi-purpose room.

The MCG has many hearing loops fitted throughout the stadium to relay PA announcements.

The SEN Stadium App provides a zero delay commentary on the Hearing Loop at the MCG.
