Good to Know Before You Go
Changing Places toilets have a height adjustable adult change table and a ceiling hoist. Bring your own four-loop sling. Many open with a Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK), and the City of Gold Coast gives free keys to eligible residents. Liberty Swings use the same key.
The Sunflower lanyard is a quiet way to let staff know someone may need a bit more time or support. The places marked here are on the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower map. We're on it too.
Places come from council and government lists, and activities from the groups that run them. We only list activities run for disabled or neurodivergent people, not places that are simply open to everyone. Every Gold Coast library also lends from a learning and development collection, sensory items included.
Times, keys and equipment change, and most groups only meet in school terms, so check the linked source, or call ahead, before a big trip. For every public toilet in Australia, including standard accessible ones, the National Public Toilet Map has the lot.
