Changing Places Toilets in Queensland

44 public toilets recorded as Changing Places facilities are recorded in Queensland, out of 321 nationally. That makes it the third-largest state total, behind Victoria (136) and New South Wales (60). They sit in 41 named towns.

The heaviest concentrations are around Brisbane Airport (2), East Toowoomba (2) and Southport (2). Those 3 account for 6 of the 44; a further 38 towns record exactly one.

Among them are Westfield Coomera at 109 Foxwell Road, Tobruk Memorial Baths, Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal and Thornlands Community Park.

Most sit in parks and reserves (18), with 4 airports, 3 shopping centres and 3 swimming pools. Across the set the listings cover 6 of the 17 kinds of site the map names. A further 13 are filed under the map's catch-all "Other" category. Set against the 4,551 listings in Queensland, that is a 1% share, rising to 1% among the 24-hour listings.

43 of the 44 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — among them Peppertree Park and University of Queensland. 23 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Strand Changing Places. 19 of the 44 have a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

12 of the 44 are published as open 24 hours — including Anzac Park Splashside and Upper Gorge - Carnarvon National Park. 12 open in daylight hours only, 1 lists variable hours and 1 follows 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. 18 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

2 of the 44 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Brisbane Airport International Terminal. A Changing Places facility goes well beyond a standard accessible cubicle: an adult-sized height-adjustable change table, a ceiling hoist, a peninsula toilet and room for two carers. They are built to a registered standard, and many are locked outside staffed hours behind an MLAK or locally issued key. All of the counts above are read from the National Public Toilet Map rather than checked in person.
