Making our concerts and workplace more accessible

At the TSO we are passionate about increasing accessibility to our workplace and concert venues for our artists, staff, and audiences. 

As part of that, we’re proud to be part of the Hidden Disability Sunflower initiative, a globally recognised program supporting people with non-visible disabilities. 

What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower? 

Some disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses are not immediately obvious to others. 

The Sunflower symbol lets people discreetly indicate (by wearing a sunflower badge, lanyard or wristband) that they may need extra support, time or understanding. 

Our staff are trained to recognise and assist people who wear the Sunflower or who otherwise indicate that they need help or patience and understanding. 

We understand some concert goers may need: 

• Help getting around the venue 

• Extra time when purchasing tickets 

• A quiet space if feeling overwhelmed. 

Sunflower lanyards or badges are available at the TSO Box Office. 

As our Customer Service Manager Cameron Bryer says, the TSO is passionate about making sure our concerts are enjoyable, welcoming and safe for all music lovers. 

‘That’s why we’re excited to become a Hidden Disability Sunflower member organisation, joining a global initiative to support people and raise awareness of non-visible disabilities,’ Cameron says.
