We understand that airports can be busy and overwhelming, especially if you or someone you’re travelling with has a hidden disability such as autism, dementia, visual impairments or anxiety. That’s why Gladstone Airport has joined the Hidden Disabilities program.

For more information, visit the Hidden Disabilities Website.

Wearing a sunflower lanyard is a discreet way to let our staff know you may need a bit of extra support, time, or guidance as you move through the airport. You will notice that some of our airport staff will be wearing Sunflower supporter badges.

To help make your journey through Gladstone Airport a little easier, we are offering sunflower lanyards or pins, which can be collected from our administration office or café.

Our team has been trained to recognise the lanyard and is here to assist you wherever possible to ensure a more comfortable airport experience.

Please be aware that wearing a sunflower lanyard does not exempt you from security screening. In accordance with government regulations, all individuals must be screened at our security checkpoint, regardless of whether they are flying or accompanying someone.

Should you require a personal escort through the airport, please contact your airline so they can provide you with assistance.
