About Changing Places
Changing Places are larger than standard accessible toilets. They have a height adjustable adult change table, a tracking hoist system, and room for two people either side of a peninsula toilet. Marveloos are portable Changing Places and are available for hire at events and festivals.
Supporting the 326,400 Victorians with high support and complex needs, the initiative forms part of the Victorian Government’s 'Absolutely everyone: State disability plan 2017-20' which seeks to create more inclusive communities.
Victoria is a leader in building Changing Places, becoming the first state to directly fund the construction of Changing Places in 2015. Since then the Victorian Government has funded 32 Changing Places and incorporated Changing Places into new infrastructure builds including hospitals, sports stadiums and train stations.
You can learn more about the Changing Places initiative in Victoria at the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing.
Locations of all currently open facilities, as well as Changing Places building specifications and guidelines can be found on the Changing Places website.
