Assistance from transport into the terminals and inside the terminals
If you need a wheelchair or other assistance at Melbourne Airport, there are two types of Accessibility Assistance to be aware of: Kerbside Assistance and Terminals Assistance.
Both types of assistance need to be booked in advance.
Kerbside Assistance is the help you may need getting from your transport to check-in inside the terminals. Sometimes friends and family help with this and so you may not need this assistance. Kerbside Assistance needs to be booked with Melbourne Airport.
Terminals Assistance is the help you may need getting from check-in to your airline seat, or from your airline seat to baggage claim. Friends and family will not be able to help navigating security, custom and immigration so you will need to book Terminals Assistance in advance with your airline.
Please visit our Special Assistance contact page for more information and to book assistance in advance.
