About this destination

The Gold Coast packs an extraordinary density of accessible family experiences into a compact stretch of Queensland coastline. Dreamworld, Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, and Wet’n’Wild are all within 30 minutes of each other, all operating dedicated accessibility programmes.

Theme Parks

Village Roadshow Theme Parks runs an All Abilities pass that provides priority queue access across all three parks with a single pass. Each park has a dedicated Guest Services team trained in autism-informed support and wheelchair transfer assistance.

The Beach

Surf Life Saving Queensland provides free beach wheelchair hire at Coolangatta, Kurrawa, and Surfers Paradise beaches. The Gold Coast’s beach gradient is extremely gentle — ideal for low-mobility beach experiences.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Currumbin’s entire site is paved and accessible. The free-flying lorikeet show takes place in an open flat arena. The hospital tour programme is available in an accessible format and is genuinely one of the most memorable experiences for children of any ability level.
