  • You can ask for assistance by notifying kerbside staff, who will call for a customer service team member.
  • Vehicles must not be left unattended at the kerb at any time. Either the driver or passenger(s) must remain with the vehicle until assistance has arrived.
  • A customer service team member will assist you inside the terminal and take you to your airline check-in desk, or a designated waiting area if check-in is not open.
  • Please note this service is for people needing wheelchair assistance only - staff cannot assist with baggage or personal items. Baggage trolleys are available at T1 Departures along the roadside.
  • During peak periods, wait times may be a little longer and we appreciate your patience during this time.

Accessible passenger drop-off at T2/T3 Domestic

If you're dropping off disabled passengers at the T2/T3 Domestic terminals, clearly signed designated areas are available in the passenger drop off zones. Drivers must make themselves known to kerbside officers if they need to leave their vehicle to briefly assist a passenger.

If your passenger needs assistance accessing the terminal, we recommend an additional person attends to assist while you remain with the car. To reduce congestion and ensure that other passengers get to their flights on time, we ask that you stop for no more than five minutes in these areas.

Taxi, rideshare, hire car and limousine drivers with accessible passengers

Taxi, rideshare, hire car and limousine drivers with unaccompanied passengers should stop in one of the accessible drop off zones at the kerbside outside the terminals.

Drivers can leave their vehicle to enter the terminal and alert a staff member from the relevant airline that there is a passenger in their vehicle requiring mobility assistance from the kerbside to the airport terminal, or alternatively notify a member of Sydney Airport’s kerbside management team who will alert a staff member from the relevant airline.

Passengers should remain in the vehicle during this time to ensure that vehicles in proximity to the terminal are not left unattended for security reasons.
