Patrons are invited to use the space to observe their own individual prayer in a purposely built room which has both male and female areas accommodating up to 50 users at any one time.

COVIDSafe Measures
The MCC committed to the ongoing wellbeing of all members and their guests who visit the Members’ Reserve.
The Victorian Government has recently relaxed some of the COVIDSafe measures for the state. However when visiting the MCG, please remember to wash or sanitise your hands regularly, using one of the 275 Dettol hand sanitisation stations throughout the Ground.
We also recommend packing a fitted face mask. While masks are not required to be worn in the Members’ Reserve, we strongly recommend masks be worn where physical distancing cannot be maintained. A reminder that face masks must also be worn on public transport and in rideshare vehicles.
