Accessibility

At Flying Fruit Fly Circus, we are committed to making circus accessible to everyone.

We acknowledge that access needs are diverse and that people experience barriers in different ways. We are actively working to improve access across across our organisation – at the Flying Fruit Fly Circus in Albury, Circus Centre Melbourne, our school, and our programs, and events – and we understand that this is ongoing work.

Our goal is to create an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and supported. While we may not always get it right, we are committed to learning and improving.

Your feedback is always welcome. If you have specific access needs or suggestions, please get in touch with us. Together, we can continue building a space that works for everyone.
