Not every elf loves the hustle and bustle. We're here to make sure everyone gets their time with Santa this Christmas with our Sensitive Santa option.
Join us for our Sensitive Santa experience where families can have a photo taken in a relaxed environment, tailored to children with sensory challenges. These calm and comfortable photography sessions take place before stores open when the centre is quieter to create a relaxed and sensory-friendly Santa experience.

Christmas wishes should speak everyone's language.
Westfield is proud to offer Auslan Santa, a program offering children who use sign language as their primary form of communication, the chance to share their Christmas wish list directly with an Auslan-fluent Santa. These sessions are longer and have helpers and an interpreter on hand to facilitate.

Best Parking & Centre Access
For the safest and easiest access to our Pet Photography sessions, we strongly recommend parking on Green Carpark, entrance via Albert Avenue.
Entry Point: Anderson Street, near Nando's.
Please also note that when you book a pet photography session, you are automatically opting in to the below terms and conditions:
- Owner/s must be responsible for their pet at all times.
- Owner/s must bring waste disposal bags for their pet's use if required. Please note that waste is prohibited from being placed in bins inside the centre.
- In the event that any animal exhibits aggressive behaviour, we will ask that they are removed from the centre.
- Owner/s must wait at the designated entrance, outside of the centre, prior to your allocated booking time. At the time of your booking, a staff member will meet you at the designated entrance and escort you to the Santa photography set. Pets must be brought into the centre on a lead or in a cage.
- Every endeavour will be made to adhere to your booking time, however in the event that another photography session is being completed, we appreciate your patience while the current pet photography session is finishing up.
Which pets are allowed?
- Most pets are welcome, including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals
- Centre management may at its discretion, remove any animals from the centre
Using Escalators or Travelators with Pets:
- Do not place pets directly on escalators or travelators. Escalator steps, comb plates and moving parts can cause serious injury to animals’ paws, nails and tails.
- Always carry your pet when using an escalator. If your pet is too heavy to carry safely please use lifts instead.
- Keep leads short and controlled. Retractable leads must be locked at a short length. Long or extended leads can become caught in escalator mechanisms or create a tripping hazard.
- Maintain close supervision at all times. Your pet must remain beside you, not ahead or behind, while moving through the centre.
- Avoid letting pets walk near escalator entry or exit points. Always hold your pet securely as you step on and off.
If you cannot safely carry your pet please use the lift. Lift access is available from all levels and is the safest option for pets who cannot be carried.
If you have any questions regarding your pet photography session, please contact us on 9412 1555.
