Lift access is from the State Theatre Centre main foyer down to the Studio Underground foyer level. There is a separate lift that can then take patrons down to the Studio Underground stage level if required.
Wheelchair seating – Row H includes designated wheelchair seats and is accessible by lift. All other rows are accessible by steps. The venue has two wheelchairs available on site which can be requested for use prior to the performance. Please contact the venue directly if you would like a staff member to meet you at the entrance with a wheelchair on the night of your attendance. This can be booked by calling 08 6212 9200.
Accessible toilets are available on the main foyer level (in the Courtyard), and on the Studio Underground foyer level.
ACROD parking bays are located at all three City of Perth parking locations (see above) nearby and are subject to availability.
Assisted hearing system (hearing loop) – Most hearing aid models have a switch that gives you access to receive signals either from the hearing aid microphone or a loop system. Studio Underground allows sound to be amplified for patrons through their telecoil enabled hearing aids. Patrons using the service simply approach the Front of House Manager before the performance as they will need to turn on their telecoil switch and/or device which will pick up the relevant signal. Also available is the Sennheiser Infra Red Assisted Hearing System. Receivers for this service can be borrowed and collected from the Front of House Manager prior to each performance.
Companion cards are accepted for all WASO performances at Studio Underground.
If you have booked standard tickets and your accessibility needs have changed, please advise the WASO team by emailing boxoffice@waso.com.au or calling 08 9326 0000
