Overview

Equal Access Pty Ltd, disability access consultants, has been commissioned by Association for Children with A Disability to act as Changing Places consultants for the development of new facilities within Australia.

This assessment reviews the key access provisions associated Changing Places facility at XXXXX on behalf of XXXX and is at the schematic design stage of documentation.

Referenced Documentation

This report references the following legislation and access standards:

Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) Commonwealth Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards 2010 (Premises

Standards) Changing Places Transforming Lives Information Kit, November 2015, Association for

Children with a Disability (Changing Places Information Kit)

Documentation Provided

For the preparation of this assessment, the following architectural drawings prepared by XXXX, (job: AS-JUP22CPD), have been reviewed:

Background

Changing Places facilities are provided for use by people with a profound disability and their carer, or carers. This includes people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and other serious impairments such as muscular dystrophy, spinal injuries, acquired brain injury or multiple sclerosis.

There are a number of essential requirements that make up a Changing Places facility. It must have enough space, the right equipment including an adjustable height change table, overhead hoist, peninsula toilet and provide a safe and clean environment.

Methodology

This report uses the Performance Specifications within the Changing Places Information Kit 2015, as the basis for a check-list to assess the current design of the Changing Places facility.

Accessible Feature Design Performance Requirements Comments / Recommendation CompliesDoor control key system (MLAK)

It is up to each venue how they manage access to their Changing Places toilet. Some venues choose to keep the Changing Places toilet unlocked. Other venues may keep it locked as a way to counter vandalism and misuse. By providing a key operated system you are ensuring the toilet facilities are only used by people who require them, as a result most of these toilets have been found to be in a safe and clean environment.

If you are choosing to have the Changing Places facility locked you will need to install the following system: Master Locksmiths' Access Key (MLAK) or Master Locksmiths' Access Fobs are also available for the MLA LOKtouch electro-mechanical access control system. The Master Locksmiths' Access Key (MLAK) enables people with disabilities to gain 24/7 access to a network of public facilities.

MLAK has been fitted to elevators at railway stations, accessible toilets in Council municipalities and National Parks and in adaptive playground equipment (Liberty Swings) across Australia.

People with a disability are able to purchase MLAK which will open all toilets, playgrounds, and other facilities which are fitted with this specially designed lock. MLAK is available for purchase from the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia. To apply for and purchase MLAK online go to www.masterlocksmiths.com.au or telephone (03) 9338 8822.
