The ticket office is located above the island platform, as are two Myki ticket vending machines, which are able to dispense most ticketing options available, accepting notes, coins and cards. As well as toilets and indoor seating. The station consists of an island platform accessible via a pedestrian walkway from the station building on Glen Huntly Road. The carpark is multistorey with a lift and holds around 200 vehicles; on weekdays it fills up by about 08:30. Citybound trains normally arrive on the western side of the island platform, while southbound trains normally arrive on the eastern side of the island platform. A pair of crossovers are located at the down end of the station.
