It is mandatory that all toilets and other amenities for public use have braille and tactile signs.

For the visually impaired The Building Code of Australia (Clause D3.6) requires that Braille and Tactile signage be displayed on ALL sanitary facilities (other than private residences). Braille and Tactile signage is also required to indicate accessible routes, such as ramps or lifts for persons in wheelchairs. It is also required at non-accessible entries or lifts, to advise of accessible entries.

Install Instructions:

These signs are supplied with double-sided tape on reverse side and should be installed to a clean surface free of dust and debris. Remove paper cover from tape and apply firmly to wall. All signs with tactile lettering must be installed as follows.

1. Signs must be located not less than 1200mm and not higher than 1600mm from the floor or ground surface.
