Accessible programs
The Mint offers a suite of programs which can be enjoyed by all visitors. These range from education programs for all ages, school holiday programs, family tours, public talks, special events, exhibitions and quiet mornings.
If you would like to participate in a program and want to discuss accessibility requirements, please contact us via the number or email below. We encourage teachers or group leaders to contact us in advance if a student or participant has access requirements so that we can inform our staff and tailor the program accordingly.
Please email group.bookings@ramint.gov.au or phone 02 6202 8746.
Vision impaired visitors
For visitors who are blind or have low-vision, please let the Visitor Experience Host at the Front Desk know and they will happily provide you with a Braille Guide.
Hearing impaired visitors
For visitors who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, we have available gallery booklets to utilise during your visit or on the public tour. If you feel comfortable, please identify yourself to the Visitor Experience Host taking the tour so that they can assist you in moving to the front of the group.
Additionally, we have touch screens in the factory viewing area that can provide additional information.
Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative
Our Museum Hosts have been trained with the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative - By wearing a sunflower lanyard, lapel or wristband, people with disabilities that aren't immediately apparent can signal to others they may need help, understanding or alternative communication methods as they go about their day.
Resources for visitors with autism
For visitors with autism or sensory requirements, the Mint has a social story for general visits which may be useful.
Our Quiet Morning is specially designed for those who might have heightened sensory requirements.
