Things are a little different, with MoAD adhering to the Australian Department of Health guidelines to protect our community from Covid-19. We have implemented procedures to ensure the safety of all staff, teachers and students and you can read more about this in our Learning COVID-19 Safety Plan.

For protocols relating to schools excursions to Canberra, refer to the Aspen Medical report - School Excursions to ACT, commissioned by National Capital Educational Tourism Project and endorsed by ACT Health Directorate.

Preparing for your visit

To find out about PACER, heritage, disability access and catering, visit the preparing for your visit page. In addition, we can work with you to tailor a program specific to the needs of your group. For further enquiries please contact one of our learning professionals at bookings@moadoph.gov.au or phone (02) 6270 8282.

We are open to the public and taking school bookings for our programs but while MoAD was closed we took the opportunity to carry out vital conservation works in the heritage spaces and to renew two of our permanent exhibitions. These works, combined with current COVID-19 restrictions, mean that some of the elements of our onsite programs have been modified. Stay tuned to our website for more updates.

We know there were many schools who were unable to visit MoAD this year. Our free Digital Excursions bring the heritage spaces of Old Parliament House directly into the classroom.

Suitable for students K-12, these free Digital Excursions cover multiple curriculum areas.
