The Inclusion Project will be attending all Melbourne Victory men’s home games at AAMI Park in season 2024/25 to host a Sensory Room. The Sensory Room is designed to provide sensory relief and stimulation for people living with sensory needs. The room is operated by an Occupational Therapist to provide individualised support throughout the match, there is also an Inclusion Project Officer in the room to assist.
The Inclusion Project was developed to create more accessible events that accommodate the needs of those living with a Hidden Disability. The Inclusion Project provide Welcome Staff and a Stadium Support Squad to assist those with extra needs and who may need assistance when arriving at the venue – keep a lookout for staff wearing a sunflower lanyard! By fostering a supportive environment and implementing practical measures, this program ensures more inclusive and accessible experiences for all attendees.
The Sensory Room is located on Level 1, opposite Aisle 23. Additionally, Sensory Bags containing special badges, fidget tools, noise-cancelling headphones, and other resources are available for loan (at no cost) at the AAMI Park Information Desk (Gates 1 & 8).
