The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy

The car parks at Melbourne Airport are busy this week The Value Car Park is nearly sold out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you do have a car park booking, please arrive 30 minutes earlier than usual and have your QR code ready for a smooth entry and exit. Due to ongoing construction in the Terminal T1 T2 T3 car park pick-up and drop-off areas, passengers should plan for potential delays of up to an hour during peak times if you are being dropped off by a loved one, taxi or Uber. To avoid congestion, we recommend using the equivalent pick-up and drop-off facilities at nearby Terminal 4 car park, which is a 10-minute walk to and from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply drive to the Terminal 4 Car Park and proceed to Level 2 for drop-offs or Level 1 for pick-ups. Thank you for your patience while we are building your airport.

Access cards

What is an access card?

An access card allows swipe access to Melbourne Airport areas at any access control door or points that are controlled by Melbourne Airport.

Access, similarly to an ASIC, is applied and received by confirmation of a current operational requirement. All access requests are investigated and approvals are sought before a decision to apply is made.

For some, their access card is their Melbourne Airport issued ASIC.

For others, they may have a separate card, issued by Melbourne Airport, that is their access card.

Who requires an access card?

If you have an ASIC issued by an Issuing Body other than Melbourne Airport and require access to sterile, secure or restricted space then you will be required to obtain an access card that runs alongside your ASIC. Your ASIC will also be required to be validated in the AusCheck portal.

If you solely require access to office or landside spaces, do not require an ASIC or are not required to comply with specific emergency plans then you can obtain an access card. There are different types of access cards depending on your operational requirement and whether it supports an ASIC or otherwise.

How to obtain an access card?

Please use the below link to download the required ID and Access application form.

ID and Access application form

If you are not an ASIC holder but require swipe access to any landside office space controlled by Melbourne Airport, you can apply for an Office Access Card using the same ID and Access Application Form.

An access card form must have wet, pen-to-paper, signatures (not photocopies or scans attached and printed) at all signature points; applicant and company signatory, and on-airport signatory if required.
