Every public space should be accessible to everyone.
FAQs
Why accessible lockers matter?
Accessible design is now an established expectation in Australian building projects. Standards such as AS1428 Design for Access and Mobility and the National Construction Code (NCC) guide the design of accessible toilets, change rooms, circulation spaces and other shared facilities.
Storage is often overlooked within these environments, yet lockers are a core part of many public and workplace amenities.
Including accessible lockers within a locker installation ensures that people who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids — as well as those with reduced reach, dexterity or vision — can use the same facilities comfortably and independently.
Just as accessible toilets, showers and circulation spaces are incorporated into modern buildings, accessible storage should form part of a well-considered, inclusive fit-out.
Providing accessible lockers from the outset also helps future-proof facilities by ensuring they remain usable for a diverse range of occupants and visitors over time.
Who accessible lockers support?
Accessible lockers are designed to support a wide range of users, including people living with:
- wheelchairs or mobility aids
- reduced reach or upper-body strength
- limited dexterity
- low vision
- older users or those living with temporary injuries
Thoughtful locker design helps ensure that everyone can store belongings securely and access them independently.

What makes a locker accessible?
Accessible lockers are designed with reach, height and depth considerations that support easier access and usability. This may include:
- locker compartments positioned within accessible reach ranges
- reduced compartment depths where required
- accessible locking options
- clear identification and signage
- layouts that support accessible circulation in change rooms and locker areas
These design considerations help ensure lockers can be comfortably used by people with a variety of mobility and accessibility needs.
