Bundanon’s approach to accessibility is centred around the individual and aims to cultivate an environment that is not only accessible but also inclusive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed for all applicants and participants.
We recognise the importance of individualised support and will collaborate closely with you to develop a tailored access plan if needed. This plan may encompass provisions such as Auslan interpretation, captioning services, or the attendance of a support worker or carer during the residency. Assistance animals are welcome, and we can offer guidance to ensure their readiness for your stay. We may request reasonable proof that your animal is a genuine assistance animal as Bundanon is a wildlife refuge.
Physical Access
We are currently undertaking a multi-stage project to enhance accessibility at the Artists in Residence Complex. To date, new ramps have been installed in the courtyard, providing step-free access to the surrounding apartments and studios. In the second half of 2025, we will implement further improvements to physical access within the interiors of these apartments and studios.
While we strive for accessibility, some site features may still present challenges, such as uneven terrain and steps outside heritage buildings, including the Writers’ and Musicians’ Cottages.
The Fern Apartment and Studio have been specifically designed to accommodate artists using wheelchairs. Access is facilitated through a ramp from the designated parking area to the apartment and studio, with the bathroom also being fully accessible. For those requiring specific measurements, such as doorway widths, detailed floor plans can be provided upon request.
The Boyd Education Centre is accessible for artists using wheelchairs and has one accessible bathroom which is shared between two rooms.
We encourage you to reach out to us to discuss your access rider or any concerns you may have regarding access.
