There are major road and infrastructure projects being built at Melbourne Airport to prepare for an increase in the number of travellers in the future.

We advise travellers add an additional 30 mins to their journey to allow for traffic delays.

More information on the projects we are embarking on as we build your airport and the need to plan ahead can be found here

Melbourne Airport offers accessible parking across a variety of car parks with close access to the terminals. If you would like to know more about parking and to view parking maps, see here.

At Terminal T1 T2 T3 
Accessible parking is available on level 1, 2 and 3 adjacent to the lifts. For easy access to T2 (international) and T3 (Virgin domestic), we recommend parking in row F on level 1, 2 and 3. For access to T1 (Qantas domestic), use row M on level 1, 2 and 3.

Once parked, head to level 2 of the car park and follow the signs to the terminals. This will take you to the sky bridges that give under cover access to the terminals.

Note that this accessible parking is under cover.

At Terminal T4 Car Park
Accessible parking is available in row B and C on level 1 and row B, C and D on level 2.

For easy access to T4 (Jetstar, REX and Link Airways ), use the Transport Hub on the ground level.

Note that this accessible parking is under cover.

Business Car Park
There is one accessible parking bay located close to T1 (Qantas domestic). This park is recommended for passengers travelling from T1, as the other terminals are further.

Please note that the pathway to the terminals is via an open-air path.

Value Car Park
For Long Term disabled parking, enter via Terminal Drive and into Section A of the car park. Accessible bays are located next to bus shelter A.

To get to the terminals, go to bus shelter A, which is wheelchair-friendly, under cover, air conditioned and heated. The courtesy shuttle bus will take you to and from the terminals. All courtesy buses are DDA compliant, cater for those with accessibility needs and are wheelchair friendly. Don’t hesitate to ask your bus driver for assistance should you need it.

Wait zone – accessible
Designated drop off and pick up bays are located in front of T1, T2 and T3 for passengers with accessibility needs. For security reasons, the driver must remain with the vehicle at all times.

Drop off and pick up bays for T4 are located within the pick up level on level 2 and drop off level on level 1 within the Transport Hub.

Note that carers assisting passengers with companion cards are eligible for a full parking fee refund if:

• The carer can prove that the passenger was either departing or arriving on a flight.
• The passenger has a valid companion card.
• The carer parked at the Terminal T1 T2 T3 or T4 Car Park for 2 hours or less.

Most airlines provide services under prior arrangement to assist passengers with accessibility needs being dropped off or picked up at the airport.

If you require wheelchair assistance, you must request this service when booking your ticket and reconfirm with the airline before travelling. Your airline will also be able to assist with recommending the most convenient drop off and pick up location.

Designated drop off and pick up bays are located in front of the terminals for passengers with accessibility needs. For security reasons, the driver must remain with the vehicle at all times.

You may arrange with your airline for an employee to assist you on your arrival in Melbourne. Airline staff can escort passengers to designated pick up bays on the road alongside the terminal. This allows the driver to collect their car and return to pick up the passenger.

If you would prefer to catch a bus, taxi, uber or rent a car, you can find more information about those services here.
