Sydney WorldPride is proud to support the Sunflower Hidden Disabilities Program which is a globally recognised symbol for hidden or non-obvious disabilities. The Sunflower Lanyard enables people with hidden disabilities and conditions the choice to let the people around them know they may need extra support, empathy, understanding or patience. This may mean some wearers cannot stand for a long time in the queue to use the bathroom, may need the use of an accessible bathroom (even if they aren’t a wheelchair or mobility aid user), patience when their order is being taken, may need fast-tracked support, more time to move around (i.e. due to pain or mobility challenges) or can feel overwhelmed, sensory overload or stressed out in large crowds and loud environments.

If you already own a Sunflower lanyard please bring it along and it will be accepted at all SWP events. If you don’t already have one, Sunflower Lanyards will be available onsite at the Infobooth located at Taylor Square North – please check the event map for Sunflower Lanyard Pickup locations on site. The lanyard is yours to keep and use during the festival and beyond! Click this link for more information on what the Sunflower Lanyard is and how it may support you.

Sensory / Quiet Space
A designated area will be available from 日曜日 26th 2月 to 日曜日 5th 3月 for any patrons with disabilities or access needs that may require a safe, supported place to take a break from the event. If you feel overwhelmed due to overstimulation or sensory overloaded during the event and/or simply need a space to ground yourself and relax, please go to the Sensory / Quiet Space (located on the corner of Pelican St and Oxford St) and a Volunteer can assist you.

An accessible drop-off & pick-up point will be available on Forbes St near Bourke St and Wentworth Ave near Lyons Lane.
