Toilets with an Adult Change Table in Australia

640 of the public toilets on the national map are recorded as having an adult-sized change table. Victoria holds the most at 206 — 32% of the national figure — ahead of New South Wales (185) and Queensland (86). The smallest recorded total is Northern Territory, with 9. They sit in 494 named towns across 496 recorded areas.

The largest clusters are at Melbourne (10), Geelong (7) and Adelaide (6). Those 3 account for 23 of the 640; a further 401 towns record exactly one. The single busiest is Melbourne, VIC.

Among them are McKenzie Reserve on Anzac Avenue, Crown, Westfield Coomera and Tobruk Memorial Baths. Around Melbourne the listings run to Observatory Precinct, 271 Spring Street and Rod Laver Arena. Further afield the map records Casuarina Aquatic & Leisure Centre (NT) and Derby Trail Head (TAS).

The mix runs to 203 parks and reserves, 74 sporting grounds, 66 community buildings and 55 shopping centres. Across the set the listings cover 16 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 112 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. That is 3% of every public toilet recorded across Australia (24,446 in total), and 1% of those open 24 hours.

573 of the 640 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Burrill Lake Lions Park and Majors Bay Reserve - Changing Places. 302 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Surrey Hills (Union Road) and Ollie Webb Reserve. 207 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Berninneit Cultural Centre and Kevin Walsh Oval. 10 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 327 of the 640 have a baby-change table, and 317 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

158 of the 640 are published as open 24 hours — among them Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal and Albert Park. 134 open in daylight hours only, 34 list variable hours and 21 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 2:30am at Sydney Airport - International Terminal and the latest closing is 11:30pm at Fed Square - The Atrium. 14 are shown as closed on Mondays. 209 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

15 of the 640 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Peppertree Park and Citiplace Rest Centre. An adult change table is a full-length, usually height-adjustable bench for people who cannot use a toilet seat. Most are inside Changing Places rooms with a hoist, but the map also records tables at sites that are not registered Changing Places, which is why this count is larger. Bring your own sling where the listing says so. These numbers come straight from the National Public Toilet Map, so confirm anything you are relying on before you set out.
