Canberra International Music Festival is committed to running a Festival which is accessible to all.
Our Disability Access Policy aims to ensure equal access for persons living with disability or impaired mobility to CIMF events held across Canberra. We also are fully committed to training our event staff to enable them to support patrons living with disability in an efficient and professional way.
CIMF supports the Companion Card program. For patrons who require assistance of a companion or carer, a second ticket is issued at no cost to the Companion Card holder. Bookings must be made directly through the Festival office.
