Facilities & Accessibility

Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 

1 Corinthians 12:12

Disabled Parking and Public Transport

There is limited parking on the front forecourt of the Cathedral, entered off Bathurst Street. We note this entire space is shared with pedestrians.

There is one marked spot for disabled parking. We encourage regular members to leave other spots on the forecourt available for those with a disability or other mobility issues (e.g. those with prams, or the aged).

We are adjacent the Town Hall stop for the Sydney Light Rail and Sydney Railways (which has lift access to and from stations).  

We note that care should be taken walking or wheeling across the pebble-crete external surfaces surrounding the Cathedral, which are sometimes uneven.

Wheelchair-Accessibility

Wheelchair access is available at the south-east corner of the Cathedral, adjacent to the disabled car parking spot. A ramp can also be placed at the northern doors on the Town Hall side of the Cathedral to assist wheelchair access. Smaller wheel chairs and walkers can also enter through the Conservatory adjacent the north doors.  

Inside, there is reasonable flat or ramp access to most parts of the Cathedral, although narrow width of passage or the presence of steps can sometimes be restrictive at some points. 

There are spaces marked for wheelchairs in both the side aisles of the Cathedral.

We are willing to bring the elements of the Lord’s Supper to you, if you indicate to a minister or an usher, and likewise with a cuppa after the service, if that helps. Likewise if you find it difficult to access to the stations serving refreshments

There is a lift allowing access to all levels of the Chapter House, accessed through the atrium.

Accessible Toilets

You can find accessible toilets (built to current standards) available off entry from the north doors. There is another accessible toilet in the Dean Cowper Hall (Lower Chapter House) adjacent the lift.

These bathrooms also includes a baby change table. Please inquire for directions as needed.

Large-Print Orders of Service

These are available upon request at entry, in limited quantities, during all church services in the cathedral.

Quieter Spaces

Quieter spaces can be found in the atrium to the south of the Cathedral and sometimes in the ‘chapel’ in the north-east corner of the Cathedral.
