The station consists of two dead end platforms, in an island format, with a large weatherboard building at the down end of the station. The building houses an open waiting area, ticket facilities and toilets. A Myki ticket vending machine was installed at the station in 2010. The installation was delayed as there was no space ideally suited to a Myki machine, as the Metcard machines were located in the optimal locations at the station. Two large Metcard ticket vending machines are located inside the waiting area, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. Two coin-only Metcard ticket vending machine and a ticket office are also located in the waiting area.
