ACCESS FOR MOBILE RELATED DISABILITY
MORE than two million Australians with mobility-related disabilities can now access over 1,000 safe and secure public toilets and Changing Places facilities with the Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK). Developed 30 years ago, the MLAK offers lifelong, subsidisable access through the NDIS. Advocates highlight its importance for independence, safety, and inclusion, while councils are urged to expand installations. The MLAK also works at Liberty Swings and other facilities, ensuring dignity and reliable access for those who need it most.

The study urges a people-first approach for lasting workplace satisfaction.
