How to choose the right All Gender Signage

All gender signage marks a single-user or unisex facility that anyone can use regardless of gender, and it's increasingly specified in new commercial fit-outs, offices, cafes and public buildings across Australia. Start by matching the sign to the facility type, toilet, shower, baby change, or a combined accessible/all gender room, since each needs a different pictogram or wording. Match the sign's finish to the surrounding door hardware: stainless steel typically pairs with commercial-grade fittings, while vinyl-faced signs suit budget fit-outs or timber doors. Confirm the door has a flat, dry surface for fixing before you order.

Tactile and Braille lettering should be raised and finished in a contrasting infill colour so the sign reads clearly under normal building lighting. Where a facility includes both an all gender toilet and a separate accessible or ambulant cubicle, use matching sign families so wayfinding stays consistent through the building. Check mounting height and door-side placement against your building certifier's requirements before installation, since these details can vary by state and building class. Lamex also sources bespoke wording and pictogram combinations for fit-outs that fall outside the standard range.
