Frequently Asked Questions

Family Facility Finder is a free online directory that helps parents and caregivers locate baby change tables, parents rooms, family toilets, male-accessible baby change facilities and private feeding facilities.

You can search for suitable venues using the interactive family facilities map, or learn more about the project on our About Us page.

The easiest way to find facilities near you is to use our interactive map. You can search by suburb or postcode, browse nearby venues and filter the results according to the facilities your family needs.

The map can help you look specifically for baby change tables, parents rooms, family toilets, private feeding facilities and locations that male carers can access.

Venue listings may include information about:

• Baby change tables
• Parents rooms
• Male-accessible baby change facilities
• Family toilets
• Private feeding facilities

You can use the filters on the family facilities map to show only the venues that match your requirements.

A parents room is a dedicated space designed for parents and caregivers with babies or young children. The facilities available vary between venues, but a parents room may include baby change tables, private or semi-private feeding areas, sinks, microwaves, seating and family toilets.

Check an individual venue listing or use the interactive map to find locations with a listed parents room.

Finding a suitable baby change table, parents room or family toilet should not involve guesswork after you arrive. Family Facility Finder was created to help parents and caregivers plan outings with greater confidence.

You can read more about the purpose of the directory on our About Us page.

Google Maps is useful for finding businesses and public places, but it often does not tell you whether a venue has a baby change table, parents room, family toilet or private feeding facility.

Family Facility Finder focuses specifically on those family facilities. The interactive map also lets you filter venues according to the facilities that matter to you.

Yes. Businesses, councils, community organisations and venue managers are welcome to submit publicly accessible locations with useful family facilities.

To suggest a listing, visit the Add a Venue page. Submitted venues are reviewed before appearing in the directory.

Family Facility Finder currently operates as a mobile-friendly website rather than a separate mobile app. You can open the interactive map in your phone's browser while you are out.

• Add a new venue that is missing from the directory.
• Submit a correction when existing venue information has changed.

Every contribution helps make the directory more useful for families.
