Did you know there’s a National Public Toilet Map that helps you find public and accessible toilets wherever you are in Australia?

Whether you’re planning a day out or on the go, this handy tool can make life a lot easier — especially for people with disability, families, and carers.

💡 Tip: You can search by location and even filter for accessible toilets and Changing Places facilities.
👉 Visit https://toiletmap.gov.au/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign&utm_content=ap_fjovef7q55 to plan your next outing with confidence!

Keep an eye out throughout the week as we share more useful accessibility information and initiatives across Livingstone Shire. 💙
