Changing Places

What's a Changing Place?

A Changing Place toilet facility allows people with high support needs to participate in all elements of community life, without having to limit their time out due to concerns about being able to access a suitable toilet.

Changing Places enable people with high support needs to enjoy day-to-day activities that many of us take for granted, such as going to work, school or university, playing in the park, or attending cultural, sporting, or social and family events.

Changing Place facilities include:

  • Height-adjustable adult-sized change table
  • Constant-charging ceiling track hoist system
  • Centrally located peninsula toilet
  • Additional circulation space (more than standard accessible toilets)
  • Automatic door with a clear opening of 950mm at a minimum
  • Privacy screen
