Toilets with an Adult Change Table in Victoria

Of the 640 public toilets with an adult change table on the national map, 206 are in Victoria. That is more than any other state or territory — New South Wales is next with 185. They sit in 150 named towns.

The largest clusters are at Melbourne (10), Geelong (7) and Cowes (4). Those 3 account for 21 of the 206; a further 117 towns record exactly one.

Among them are McKenzie Reserve on Anzac Avenue, Crown, Smiths Beach Road and Surrey Hills (Union Road). Around Melbourne the listings run to Observatory Precinct, 271 Spring Street and Rod Laver Arena.

The mix runs to 56 parks and reserves, 36 community buildings, 17 sporting grounds and 16 shopping centres. Across the set the listings cover 14 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 42 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. That is 4% of every public toilet recorded in Victoria (5,803 in total), and 2% of those open 24 hours.

184 of the 206 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — such as Berninneit Cultural Centre and Ballarat Botanical Gardens - North. 130 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Tarneit Community Learning Centre and Arthurs Seat Eagle. 92 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Victoria Park Playground and Hargreaves Street Multi Storey Car Park. 2 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 102 of the 206 have a baby-change table, and 99 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

48 of the 206 are published as open 24 hours — among them Point Lonsdale Foreshore and Ocean Grove Main Beach. 39 open in daylight hours only, 13 list variable hours and 8 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4:30am at Southern Cross Station and the latest closing is 11:30pm at Fed Square - The Atrium. 4 are shown as closed on Mondays. 58 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

Every listing in this set is recorded as free to use. 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.
