Accessibility

The goal at Fed Square is to provide barrier-free access, making the site, building and the experiences offered accessible to all people. Find out more below:

  • The undulating surface of the Main Square is made up of sandstone cobblestones, with a marked access path.

    Swanston Street offers the best access to the Main Square, and lift access is available to and from The Atrium.

    The Big Screen is equipped with a hearing loop and there are accessible toilets located next to Time Out Café.

    The Main Stage has lift access for performers, and St Paul’s Court, Swanston Street Forecourt and The Amphitheatre also have wheelchair access.

  • The Little Food Festival has two quiet spaces available for guests with neurodiverse needs.

    One is located at the entry to Taxi Restaurant nearest the Food trucks, and the other is down the Atrium next to IceBar.

    These rooms are signposted. They are quiet, dark and both have chairs, mood lighting, fidgets and mindful colouring. Volunteers are around the site to assist with access.

  • FedSquare has its own multi-level car park, which is accessible from Russell Street or Batman Ave (Exhibition Street extension – City Link).

    The Federation Square Car Park is open 24hrs and has accessible spaces located next to the lift on each level.

  • Fed Square is pleased to announce we have a registered Changing Places bathroom now open and available for use.
