HQs/TROPHY SERIES ROUND COMPETITOR INFORMATION
29-31 August 2025

MEDIA APPLICATION

Before applying for full media accreditation for this event, please have your personal accident cover on hand and ready to upload. This can be an individual policy, a company policy, or Motorsport Australia Media Accreditation (which includes accident cover). Please read the full policy on our MEDIA PAGE.

Our ‘limited’ accreditation is supplied to both working media and non-commercial amateur media outlets to provide entry to the venue, closer parking to the main paddock, and access to the Media Centre for the duration of the weekend. This accreditation does NOT allow access to non-spectator areas of the Circuit, and is ideal for journalists, team and individual media personnel who do not require circuit photography access beyond the spectator fencelines, and for other applicants who do not meet the criteria for full accreditation.
