What applies in Australian Capital Territory

A frequently cited ACT Changing Places listing that set out which Canberra venues require a key is no longer online — the domain is now parked — so we are not repeating its facility-by-facility claims. If you need a particular Canberra venue, contact it directly: some Changing Places rooms are unlocked during opening hours or offer staff-assisted access rather than requiring your own key.

How to apply — the route that works everywhere

  4. 4

    Pay the price

    Pay $64 excluding GST (the national online price from 1 July 2025), unless a council scheme or a Victorian or South Australian Companion Card offer provides the key free.
