CEO Sleepout

Events Details

On the night…

Clothing

It’s going to be cold. And maybe wet as well. Make sure you wear warm, comfortable clothes. Hats and gloves are a good idea too!

Bedding

Bring your own sleeping bag and a pillow. Cardboard will be provided for you to sleep on or build a shelter. No airbeds or luxury bedding items allowed!

Food

You can’t bring your own, sorry. A basic meal of soup, bread rolls, tea & coffee will be served on the night. Breakfast will also be provided in the morning. Alcohol is strictly off limits.

Weather

This is an experiential event which introduces you to what it’s really like to sleep rough. Regardless of the weather, the event will go ahead – so there are no excuses! An undercover area will be made available in the case of rain.

Parking

Try your luck with on-street parking, or use the Etihad Stadium car park (enter via Bourke Street). The car park is open 24 hours and parking is a flat $10 for entry after 5pm. If you do drive, please ensure that you have had adequate sleep to safely drive home/to work in the morning.

Transport

Etihad Stadium is just a short walk from Southern Cross train station across the pedestrian bridge or trams run to Etihad Stadium along La Trobe Street and Harbour Esplanade. Trams also stop on Spencer, Bourke and Collins Street near Etihad Stadium.
