Toilets with an Adult Change Table in Queensland

Of the 640 public toilets with an adult change table on the national map, 86 are in Queensland. That makes it the third-largest state total, behind Victoria (206) and New South Wales (185). They sit in 77 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Maroochydore (3), Brisbane (2) and Brisbane Airport (2). Those 3 account for 7 of the 86; a further 69 towns record exactly one.

The list takes in Westfield Coomera at 109 Foxwell Road, Tobruk Memorial Baths, Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal and Thornlands Community Park. Around Maroochydore the listings run to Cotton Tree Caravan Park Picnic Area, Cotton Tree Rotary Park and Sunshine Plaza.

The mix runs to 33 parks and reserves, 6 airports, 6 sporting grounds and 5 shopping centres. Across the set the listings cover 14 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 17 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. That is 2% of every public toilet recorded in Queensland (4,551 in total), and 1% of those open 24 hours.

78 of the 86 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Peppertree Park and University of Queensland. 40 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Strand Changing Places. 26 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them The Gabba and Mt Coot-Tha Visitor Information Centre. 1 needs a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 38 of the 86 have a baby-change table, and 37 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

27 of the 86 are published as open 24 hours — among them Strand Park (Picnic Bay Life Savers) and Dirranbandi Truck Stop. 21 open in daylight hours only, 4 list variable hours and 5 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4am at Rockhamption Airport and the latest closing is 11pm at University of Queensland. 32 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

4 of the 86 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Mackay airport and Boyne Valley Discovery 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.
