The station will also feature the first platform-to-platform connection between trains and trams in Melbourne, as half of all passengers are expected to interchange between the two modes of transport.[6] The Anzac Station tram stop opened to passengers on 19 December 2022,[7] replacing the Domain Interchange which formerly existed on the same site prior to Metro Tunnel construction. The train station underneath remains under construction.[8][9]

The station entrance features a large wooden canopy designed by RSHP, Hassell and Weston Williamson.[10]
