Travel instructions

From TAKE CARE website: Pitt Street is located on the Lygon Street Tram line, serviced by the number 1 and 6 trams. Lygon Street tram stops are not ramp accessed stops. The closes ramp accessed tram stop to Take Care is Nicholson Street, stop 21 on the 96 tram line which is 950 meters away and requires crossing 4 streets, 3 of which has pedestrian lights. The closest train station is Jewell Station which is 1.7km away. Pitt Street has one accessible parking bay, one 30 minute parking bay, six 5 hour parking bays, three loading zones, seventeen unlimited parking pays and one 1 hour parking bay. Parks can be hard to come by on Pitt Street and we recommend Loyola Avenue as a secondary option for parking. No street crossing is required on the walk from Loyola Avenue to Take Care. Parking inspectors do patrol the area. Take Care has two permanently fixed bicycle lock-up bars at the front of the building.

Entry instructions

Wheelchair and step-free access is via the back entrance: there is one step up into the ground floor of the building, a portable ramp is available. The front entrance has 4 concrete steps up into the front ground level foyer. We are meeting in the Big Room on the ground floor.

After entry instructions

There will be people to greet you on the first day and direct you to the Big Room, and let you know where the bathrooms, kitchen and courtyard are.

Hazards

Wheelchair / stair-free accessibility is reliant on requesting use of the ramp - please let me know ahead of time so I can have the ramp available and let me know if any other assistance is needed. (Stella)

Toilet location

There are accessible bathrooms on the same level as the workshop room. There will be people to greet you and orientate to the ground floor: including the bathrooms, kitchen, courtyard, and the Big Room where we are meeting. All bathrooms are gender-neutral.
