Airport Toilets in Australia

The National Public Toilet Map records 119 public toilets at airports across Australia. New South Wales holds the most at 32 — 27% of the national figure — ahead of Queensland (30) and Western Australia (18). The smallest recorded total is Australian Capital Territory, with 1. They sit in 102 named towns.

Mascot (8), Perth Airport (5) and Brisbane Airport (2) carry the most between them. Those 3 account for 15 of the 119; a further 94 towns record exactly one. The single busiest is Mascot, NSW.

Named listings include Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport on Hart Kerspien Drive, Cairns Airport, Burketown Aerodrome Teminal Area and Ravensthorpe Airport. Around Mascot the listings run to Sydney Airport Domestic T2 Gate 39, Sydney Airport - International Terminal and Sydney Airport - Domestic Terminal. Further afield the map records Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal (QLD) and Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (NSW).

Of the 119, 84 are recorded as wheelchair accessible, 44 have a baby-change table and 9 are Changing Places facilities. They are 0% of the 24,446 public toilets recorded across Australia.

84 of the 119 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Hamilton Island Airport and Ayers Rock Airport Arrivals. 9 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Adelaide Airport and Gold Coast Airport. 2 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key: Perth Airport - Terminal 1 Ground Floor and Melbourne Airport. 2 need a key from the operator instead, which means finding whoever holds it before you arrive. 44 of the 119 have a baby-change table, and 43 of those sit at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

36 of the 119 are published as open 24 hours — such as Darwin Domestic Terminal and Murwillumbah Airfield. 5 open in daylight hours only, 12 list variable hours and 25 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 11pm at Canberra Airport. 2 are shown as closed on Mondays. 17 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

3 of the 119 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Mackay airport and Brisbane Airport International Terminal. Regional aerodromes and capital-city terminals are recorded identically. The dataset does not say whether a facility sits landside or past security, which matters most at the larger terminals. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
