The Dunedin City Council is marking International Day of Persons with Disabilities this Friday with the South Island's first Changing Places bathroom. Changing Places New Zealand was formed in 2017 to provide fully accessible bathroom facilities in public places throughout the country. A Changing Places bathroom has a ceiling hoist, adult sized changing table and enough room for a caregiver to move around and an accessible toilet. Founder and disability advocate, Jenn Hooper, chats to Karyn about her fight to get the bathrooms built.
