Accessible toilet Nurses Walk - The Rocks

This accessible toilet is located on Nurses Walk in The Rocks. It is beside the pedestrian laneway, with clear accessibility signs near the entrance. The sign identifies it as a unisex accessible toilet with left-hand transfer and baby change facilities.

The toilet can be reached via a step-free route along Nurses Walk. The surrounding area is mainly paved with brick and stone, and the path is generally wide. However, Nurses Walk has some slopes, and parts of the older paving have joints and slightly uneven surfaces, which may require more effort for some manual wheelchair users. Wheelchair users are recommended to enter Nurses Walk through Captain Tench Arcade, as this route is flatter, wider and easier for wheelchair access.

The toilet entrance is located at ground level in a covered area. The space in front of the entrance is relatively open, with a hard paved surface and no obvious step. Clear wheelchair and toilet signs are provided on the wall. A push-button door control is located beside the entrance, making it easier for wheelchair users to open the door.

Inside, there is plenty of space for a wheelchair to enter, stop and turn. The toilet is set up for left-hand transfer. Fixed grab rails and a fold-up grab rail are provided around the toilet to assist with transfers and standing. An emergency assistance control is also available. The floor has large non-slip tiles and is generally flat.

Baby change facilities are also available inside the accessible toilet. The baby change symbol is clearly displayed on the sign at the entrance.

For public transport, Circular Quay is the nearest major transport hub, with train, L2 and L3 light rail, bus and ferry services. From Circular Quay, wheelchair users can travel through The Rocks via the George Street area to reach Nurses Walk.

For those travelling by car, accessible parking is available near 130 George Street.
