Changing Places accessible toilet

Changing Places toilets are different to standard accessible toilets. They have extra features and more space to meet the needs of people with severe and profound disabilities.

Each Changing Places toilet provides:

• a height adjustable adult-sized changing bench

• enough space
• a safe and clean environment.

Some Changing Places facilities also include showers. In Maroondah, showers are included in the Changing Places facilities at Realm, Eastland, Jubilee Park, Maroondah Nets and Croydon Town Square. You will need to bring your own sling.
