Mobility Assistance

Mobility support is very limited and is only available to those who pre-register their accessibility needs during the Attendance Pass registration process via the official Gallipoli Commemorations website.

Priority is given on a ‘most in need’ basis, and support cannot be guaranteed for all requests.

All visitors requiring mobility assistance must bring their own equipment (e.g. wheelchairs or walkers), as these are not provided on site.

On-site assistance may be available at the Information Tent at the Anzac Commemorative Site, but again, only for pre-registered individuals.
