Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative
The Mint is a proud supporter of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Initiative, a program that is making spaces more accessible with the simple use of a sunflower symbol to indicate that the wearer has a hidden disability, and may need extra help, understanding, or time. Look for our staff wearing the sunflower, or wear the sunflower yourself so that we know you might need help. We have sunflower lanyards that can be borrowed from our front desk whilst you are visiting our gallery. To find out more about the Sunflower Initiative, see the website here https://hdsunflower.com/au/.
