300th Changing Places Facility opened at Maroondah’s Jubilee Park

The newest Changing Places facility has opened in Victoria at Maroondah’s Jubilee Park – marking the 300th to be built in Australia.

Victorians with disability and their carers will benefit from the newest Changing Places facility.

Victoria leads the charge in making Australia a more accessible place, with 135 out of 300 Changing Places nationally located in Victoria.

Changing Places are larger than standard accessible toilets with extra features, such as a tracking hoist and additional space for two or more carers to support a person with high support needs to use a bathroom safely and with dignity.

The Victorian Budget 2022/23 allocated $2.5 million to provide grants for local councils and not-for-profit organisations to build Changing Places across the state.

This is on top of the $11.4 million that the State Government has invested in Changing Places initiatives since 2015, building facilities across metropolitan, rural and regional Victoria.

Maroondah City Council received $180,000 in funding to build the Changing Places facility at Jubilee Park.
