Changing places funding

The Commonwealth Department of Social Services is offering up to half of the cost to build Changing Places facilities in Local Government Areas (LGAs) across Australia. Changing Places are accessible toilets with extra features and more space to meet the needs of people with disability and their carers.
As at 1 February 2024, the Department of Social Services has increased the funding offer to provide:

• 50% of the funding towards build costs for Changing Places facilities in LGAs with an existing facility
• 40% of the funding towards build costs for all subsequent facilities in any LGA with at least one Changing Places

This funding offer can supplement other sources of funding, including the Growing Regions Program. Applicants are encouraged to consider including a Changing Places facility in upcoming community infrastructure plans.
