How to choose the right Accessible Signage

Accessible signage identifies facilities designed for people with disability, and Australian commercial, retail and public buildings are generally expected to provide it wherever an accessible toilet, shower or other facility exists. When selecting a sign, first confirm whether the facility is left-hand or right-hand configured, since the pictogram and layout differ to reflect the direction a wheelchair user approaches the fixture. Consider whether the room also needs a baby change or shower pictogram combined with the accessible symbol, Lamex stocks several combined options. Match the finish, stainless steel or vinyl-faced, to the rest of your door hardware and overall fit-out standard.

Placement and mounting height matter for accessible signage to be genuinely usable, position signs at a consistent height and on the correct side of the door so they can be found by touch as well as sight. Braille and tactile characters should sit in a contrasting infill colour with a non-glare finish so the sign reads clearly under typical building lighting. If your project involves multiple accessible facilities across a floor or building, order sign families as a set so pictograms, colours and finishes stay consistent for wayfinding. For fit-outs with non-standard facility combinations, contact Lamex about bespoke sign options.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need a left-hand or right-hand accessible sign?
The hand configuration should match the layout of the accessible facility itself, indicating which side the fixtures such as the toilet pan and grab rails sit relative to the door. Check your fit-out plans or existing cubicle layout before ordering, or ask the Lamex team if you're unsure.
Do accessible signs need Braille and tactile lettering?
Signage for accessible facilities in Australian commercial buildings is generally expected to include raised tactile characters and Braille so the sign can be read by touch. All signs in this collection include tactile and Braille elements.
What's the difference between an accessible sign and an ambulant sign?
Accessible signage marks facilities designed for wheelchair users, while ambulant signage marks a separate, narrower cubicle designed for people with limited mobility who do not use a wheelchair. Many buildings require both sign types for their respective facilities.
Can these signs be used alongside all gender or baby change signage?
Yes. Lamex stocks combined accessible/baby change designs, and accessible signs can be fitted alongside separate all gender or shower signage where a building has multiple facility types on one door or nearby doors.
