About Scitech
Scitech is a not-for-profit organisation proudly supported by the Western Australian Government through the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation
As we slowly return to a more normal way of life post-COVID lockdown, it is important to note that Scitech is still operating with a limited capacity under the Phase 4 guidelines from the WA Government’s COVID-19 WA Roadmap. This means you are required to purchase/reserve your tickets online in advance — whether you are a new visitor, a Scitech member or a school group.
For the health and safety of our community, all visitors aged 16 years and over are also required to register their visit to the Science Centre and provide contact details for the purpose of contact tracing, either by booking online or registering via the official SafeWA app.
Please see below for health & safety guidelines and a list of FAQs to help you plan ahead before your visit. For more news and updates, get connected through Scitech Facebook, Scitech Instagram, Scitech Twitter, Scitech YouTube and Scitech LinkedIn.
Health & Safety
We have reduced capacity at the Science Centre under the WA Government’s Phase 4 restrictions. The 2 square metre rule applies to our exhibition galleries and as a precautionary health and wellbeing measure, a few exhibits have been temporarily removed from our floor. The Puppet Theatre will also remain closed to the public under Phase 4, but during school holidays we will relocate puppet shows to the big stage near City Views.
Hand sanitiser is available at several locations throughout the Centre while floor markings and other signage is in place. Regular and additional cleaning procedures has been introduced to high touch zones, particularly our interactive exhibits. These modifications will remain in place until the WA Government announces Phase 5 of the COVID-19 WA Roadmap.
In the interest of public health and wellbeing, we ask our visitors to consider the following:
- Please do not visit Scitech if you are feeling unwell
- Please sanitise your hands when entering Scitech – there will be multiple hand sanitiser stations throughout the Science Centre
- Practise physical distancing with people outside of your family group
- Avoid crowding together in any one area of the centre
