Accessible Toilet

Accessible toilets part of Circular Quay train station. Access via MLAK key or via NSW train staff.

An accessible toilet is available at E1 Alfred Street, within the Circular Quay station/wharf area. It is located between Wharf 3 and Alfred Street, making it convenient for people using Circular Quay train station, ferry wharves and the surrounding Circular Quay precinct.

The toilet is clearly identified by the international wheelchair-accessibility symbol. Signage at the entrance also indicates female toilet and baby-change facilities. The sign states “Please see staff for access,” so the accessible toilet is not necessarily open for unrestricted entry at all times.

Access to the accessible toilet is available using an MLAK (Master Locksmiths Access Key). Visitors who do not have an MLAK key can ask NSW Train/Transport staff for assistance to gain access.

The route to the toilet is through the Circular Quay station pedestrian area and has a hard, paved surface. There are no stairs visible immediately at the toilet entrance, allowing wheelchair and mobility-aid users to approach the facility from the surrounding station concourse. The toilet is positioned beside the other public toilet facilities, so users can follow the toilet signage when approaching from the wharves or station.

The accessible toilet itself has limited internal space, which may be important for people using larger powered wheelchairs or those requiring assistance from a carer. Users who need extra manoeuvring or transfer space should take this into consideration.

Overall, this is a useful accessible toilet in a very central Circular Quay location, particularly for people travelling by train or ferry or visiting nearby attractions. The main point to be aware of is that access requires an MLAK key or assistance from station staff.
