Deakin is committed to providing accessible campuses and facilities for everyone attending Open Day.
Accessible parking is available on all campuses with a valid Australian Disability Parking Permit. If you have a temporary medical condition, you may be eligible for a Temporary Accessible Parking Authority to park in accessible parking bays. To find out how to apply, please email us.
An Auslan interpreter is available to assist you on the day on campus in information sessions, tours and one-on-one course conversations. Upon arrival, please tell our friendly staff if you would like to access this service.
A calming, comfortable and private reset room is available at the campus library (Building JC, Level 2, Room JC2.310) to support anyone who finds the loud, crowded and busy environment overwhelming.
We recommend you start your day at our career and course information booths, where you can chat to academics and study experts about studying at Deakin. Or you can take a tour of the campus departing from Union Green every 30 minutes. The best way to make the most out of Open Day is to use our planner to browse all sessions and plan your day ahead of time.
Parking at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus is free and parking locations are outlined on the campus map. Find more information about parking on campus, including accessible parking options. A free shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes to our Geelong Waterfront Campus on the day if you want to see what both our Geelong-based campuses have to offer.
