- Please arrive at the Sydney Olympic Park P1 car park (15 Edwin Flack Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park) no more or less than 30 minutes prior to your appointment. Parking is free for students attending vaccination appointments at QDOS Bank Arena.
- Parents who drop off students are required to remain in their car and may not accompany students into the Arena. Students arriving to the car park will be guided by marshals to the Arena.
- Appointments will take approximately 1 hour. Once the appointment is complete, the student is required to make their own way home.
- If a student is unable to attend the Arena on the day or their appointment, they are to contact the principal of their school for alternative booking arrangements.
Other important information:
- Students must bring the mobile phone they used to register, in order to scan a QR code on the way in.
- Photo identification is required. Photo ID can include a current Australian driver’s license, passport or school ID.
- If the student is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or a household contact is experiencing COVID19 symptoms (or are in isolation) the student must not attend their vaccination appointment.
Please note: In presenting to the Qudos Bank Arena, the student has consented to being vaccinated with the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine.
