Accessibility

Tidal River and Wilsons Prom have many options and resources for people with limited mobility or autism.

A range of special equipment is available for accommodation at Tidal River to make your stay more comfortable. 

Domain Unit has been specifically designed to meet the latest accessibility standards, and is a perfect option for visitors with limited mobility. The unit provides ramp access and a fully accessible kitchen and bathroom. 

The Wilsons Promontory Visitor Information Centre hires out an all-terrain wheelchair known as a TrailRider. The TrailRiders are free to hire, but must be booked through the information centre. Call on (03) 8427 2122 for more information.

The TrailRider is motorised and requires a minimum of two people to operate. Four operators are recommended for long trails or walks with significant gradients. The passenger of the TrailRider chair is required to wear a bike helmet when using the chair and visitors are asked to provide their own helmet.

The level of access to park trails and park beaches will largely depend on fitness of chair operators, ground surface, trail gradients and other factors. The All-terrain wheelchairs available easily disassemble and fit in the back of a station wagon.
