At Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre we care about access and inclusion. We're committed to community accessibility and ensuring that barriers to participation are reduced for those in need.
That's why we offer a wide variety of accessible facilities (see below) in a safe and clean environment with qualified, enthusiastic and reliable staff. We also offer different memberships to help those in our community who are least likely or unable to participate. This includes offering concessional pricing and discounted entry for Companion, Carer and Seniors Card holders.

Access Key
The Access Key is an accessibility guide to the centre. Our Access Key has been developed to help users: understand what to expect before attending our centre; determine the suitability of an experience; alleviate anxiety about visiting new places; and interpret and process the experience whilst at the centre. Our Access Key is is funded by Latrobe City Council with the support of Access Ability Australia.
