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.
