Melbourne Airport is proudly hosting the Car Park Sleepout in support of Juno and McAuley - local organisations that support women, non-binary people and children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness due to family violence. 

Our objective is to raise funds and awareness of the communities and challenges that Juno and McAuley support. Sleeping in a car is the reality thousands face across Melbourne every night.

If you're unable to stay for the night, you can come for the evening component and leave early. 

Companies and individuals are very welcome to donate in support of Juno and McAuley. 

From 5pm Thursday October 16, until 9am Friday October 17.

Rooftop of Melbourne Airport’s Terminal 4 (T4) car park.

The car park is height restricted to 2.2m.

Participants with an airfield/sunset view will be allocated to the western side of the car park. Participants with a city/sunrise view will be allocated to the eastern side of the car park. Please advise staff on entry to Level 7 if you have this ticket.

Please let us know if you have special accessibility or parking requirements.

Importantly, please note temporary road closures will impact how you normally get to the T4 car park. We will contact attendees closer to the date with more information.

We acknowledge that family violence and homelessness are sensitive subjects. 

If you or someone you know needs help, a wide range of support services are available. Please reach out.
