Swimming Pool Toilets in Australia

The National Public Toilet Map records 68 public toilets at public swimming pools across Australia. New South Wales holds the most at 21 — 31% of the national figure — ahead of Victoria (19) and Queensland (12). The smallest recorded total is Northern Territory, with 4. Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania record none at all. They sit in 67 named towns.

Only Pakenham records more than one, with 2. The single busiest is Pakenham, VIC.

Named listings include Tobruk Memorial Baths at 32 The Strand, Casuarina Aquatic & Leisure Centre, Yarrangobilly Thermal Pool and Williamstown Swimming & Life Saving Club. Further afield the map records Beverley Whitfield Pool, Shellharbour Village (NSW) and Parap Pool (NT).

Of the 68, 53 have a shower, 54 are recorded as wheelchair accessible and 27 have a baby-change table. They are 0% of the 24,446 public toilets recorded across Australia.

54 of the 68 are recorded as wheelchair accessible — including Woree Bicentennial Aquatic Centre and Goulburn Aquatic and Leisure Centre. 20 are Changing Places facilities, with an adult-sized change table and a hoist — among them Barossa Village Community Hydrotherapy Pool and Palm Beach Aquatic Centre. 12 open with an MLAK key, the national Master Locksmiths Access Key — among them Brimbank Aquatic Centre Poolside and Ascot Vale Leisure Centre. 27 of the 68 have a baby-change table, and every one of those sits at a site that is also wheelchair accessible.

4 of the 68 are published as open 24 hours — such as Kingscote Tidal Pool and Mitiamoo Swimming Pool. 6 open in daylight hours only, 3 list variable hours and 7 follow the host venue's hours. Where set times are published, the earliest opening is 4:30am at Dee Why Rockpool and the latest closing is 11pm at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre. 1 is shown as closed on Mondays. 17 publish no weekly hours at all, so treat those as unknown rather than open.

4 of the 68 charge for entry; the rest are free — the charging ones being Oran Park Leisure Centre and Alice Springs Aquatic & Leisure Centre. These are the change-room facilities at council and community pools. Entry usually means entry to the pool, and outdoor pools in the southern states run a summer season rather than a full year. Every figure here is counted from the National Public Toilet Map, which operators and councils update at their own pace.
