• 7.30am – 5.30pm (April to September)

Public Viewing Area

Due to the impact that COVID-19 has had on our operations we have temporarily closed our observation deck on level 3 at T1 International . We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

You can watch all the airfield action from our indoor Public Viewing Area on level 3 at T1 International. It’s open to the public 24/7 and is accessed from the level 1 departures area (before security screening).

A non-denominational room for prayer or quiet contemplation is located on the ground floor at T1 International, near the public Arrivals Hall.

Sleeping pods are located at T1 Domestic, ground floor (before security screening) and can be booked by the hour.

The pods are specifically designed for rest and relaxation, similar in design to a business class flatbed. Hand luggage can be stored safely under the seat during use, and a moveable, breathing shade offers privacy. The chairs also have USB and GPO plugs to charge laptops or phones while you rest.

For enquiries about sleeping pods, please contact Smarte Carte.

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside and in front of all terminals at Perth Airport. To accommodate smokers, we have dedicated smoking areas at all terminals. You can locate these areas on the terminal maps.

Your wellbeing while travelling through or visiting Perth Airport is our highest priority. Our Access Facilitation Plan advises passengers with disabilities and special needs of the facilities and services we provide as we work toward universal access and inclusion.

Airline assistance

If you need special assistance while travelling, please advise your airline or travel agent when making your flight booking. They will then make necessary arrangements. This includes reserving a specific seat on the aircraft, providing wheelchair or mobility assistance from check-in to the departure gate and arrival gate to baggage reclaim, or ensuring you have the right medical clearances to fly. We recommend you speak to your airline or check your airline’s website for specific special assistance policies and procedures. 

Kerbside and parking

All terminals at Perth Airport have designated drop-off and pick-up zones located right near the main terminal entry/exits for exclusive use by passengers with special needs. Unfortunately, Perth Airport team members are unable to provide assistance to special needs passengers from the kerb to check-in area, or from baggage reclaim to the kerb, including with transfers between a vehicle and a wheelchair. You should make your own arrangements for assistance, for example ask a carer, family member or friend to accompany you to or from the airport.

Designated accessible parking bays for Australian Disability Parking Permit (e.g. ACROD) holders are conveniently located in all Short Term Car Parks, as close as possible to both the departure and arrival areas of each terminal. There are also plenty of ACROD bays available in our Long Term Car Parks.

Buses

All bussing services provided by Perth Airport, including terminal transfer and Long Term Car Park transfer buses, are wheelchair accessible. All buses have ramps, wheelchair store areas and the drivers are happy to assist when they can. 

Security screening 

The Australian Government recognises that some passengers will have special needs when travelling through Australian airports. Training provided to security screening officers at Perth Airport is designed to ensure everyone is treated fairly and with respect when going through the security screening points. Where possible, please advise the security screener of any medical or special requirements that you may have prior to being screened, so they can make the process as smooth as possible for you. For detailed information about travelling with a medical condition, disability, or hearing or vision impairment, including packing your carry-on bags and going through security checks, please visit the TravelSECURE website.

Service Animal Relief Areas

Service Animal Relief Areas (SARAs) are dedicated toilet and watering facilities for assistance animals.

The Service Animal Relief Areas can be found before security screening at

• Terminal 4 – ground floor, opposite check-in (behind car rental desks)
• Terminal 1 – ground floor, behind check-in (enter via corridor next to check-in desk 40)

The locations are also highlighted on our terminal maps.

Toilets

Every terminal at Perth Airport has wheelchair accessible toilets available.

First aid room

There are first aid rooms located at each of Perth Airport’s managed terminals. The primary purpose of these rooms is to be used during an emergency or first aid incident, however, they are also available to travellers or carers who may need a private room to change or administer medication. In T1 and T2, there are first aid rooms equipped with a hoist that may be used by carers. To access these rooms, please use the phone handset found directly outside the room and a Perth Airport team member will come and give you access.
