Planning your time at the Show can be a helpful way for making your experience a great one—not just for Showgoers with disability, but for the entire family. Some suggested tips include:
- Watch videos of the Show here. There is lots of movement, colours and sounds at the Show, watching some videos can help ease into the Show experience
- Choose a meeting location in case you get separated
- Practice waiting in line, this is useful if you’re planning on going on rides or purchasing Showbags
- Have some earplugs or headphones handy
- Bring a sensory toy or comfort item
To better support parents, families, people with disability, processing disorders and autism, there will be a 1-hour Quiet Session on Tuesday 26th September 10am - 11am. During this time, the Community stage will not have any performances and vendors have been directed to reduce noise at their sites.
Each individual carnival ride has set guidelines of usage that need to be adhered to at all times. Should these guidelines be met by the patrons you can request assistance from carnival operators directly.
This designated space, located near AgVenture Hill, provides a reduced stimulation environment that allows people to calm, relax, re-organise and refocus before heading back to the Show. Patrons utilising the Sensory Space are required to have an adult carer accompanying them at all times. Please reach out to any of our volunteers if you require assistance locating this space.
Throughout the Show there is a lot of noise, flash lighting, strobes, smoke, loud noises or other special effects. While we endeavor to have sensory time, you are encouraged to speak to individual operators of amusements and also consider bringing headphones.
Volunteers will be handing out wristbands at the main entry gate. It is recommended to put a contact number should an individual get separated from their group.
Information wristbands are a useful tool for parents or carers attending the Show. Wristbands can be easily picked up from the main entry points and the information booths, and parents or carers to add their contact information, making it easier to reunite with their child in the event they become separated.
Emergency Management
Emergency personnel have been trained on how best to assist people with disability in the event of an emergency and to ensure all exits and assembly points are accessible.
First Aid
St. John Ambulance First Aid Posts are situated throughout the Showground. Post 1 is situated adjacent to the Police Pavilion. Post 2 is at the Western entrance to the Main Arena. St John Ambulance Event Health Service Members will also be patrolling around the Showground. A variety of personal first aid supplies are available from all St John Ambulance Posts for a gold coin donation.
Lost/Found Persons
Should you and your child become separated at the Perth Royal Show, please alert an information booth or the RASWA Administration Office to notify the Lost/Found Person’s Centre. All people will be cared for at the Lost Person Centre inside the Administration Building until reunited.

Areas have been set aside for smokers at Private Road (next to Sideshow Alley) and at the rear of the toilet block near the corner of Hardy and Morrison Avenue.
