Baby Change Stations

Create safer, more family-friendly facilities with our range of commercial baby change stations, designed for busy parents’ rooms and public bathrooms across Australia. Whether you are fitting out a new project or upgrading an existing amenity, John Barnes Group makes it easy to buy baby change stations online that are durable, hygienic and practical for real-world use.

Commercial-Grade Baby Change Stations for Modern Facilities

From shopping centres and clubs to healthcare, education and transport hubs, baby change tables are now an essential part of any compliant, family-focused amenity. Our baby change stations are purpose-built for commercial environments, with robust wall-mounted designs, easy-clean surfaces and thoughtful safety features that help support a positive experience for parents and caregivers.

Choose from horizontal or vertical baby change stations to suit your wall space, layout and circulation paths. Surface-mounted and recessed options allow you to integrate units seamlessly into tiled, plasterboard or masonry walls, helping you balance accessibility, aesthetics and practicality in your parents’ rooms and accessible bathrooms.

Key Benefits of Installing Quality Baby Change Tables

Enhanced safety and confidence for parents and carers

Parents need to know that the baby changing station they are using is secure and reliable. Our range includes commercial baby change tables with contoured change surfaces, integrated safety straps and strong wall fixings (when installed correctly by a qualified tradesperson). These features help keep infants secure during nappy changes, reducing the risk of falls or slips in busy public bathrooms.

Hygienic, easy-clean surfaces for high-traffic areas

In high-traffic facilities across Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and beyond, hygiene is non-negotiable. Many baby change stations are manufactured from high-density, easy-clean materials and stainless steel fascias that resist moisture, staining and odours. Smooth, rounded surfaces and minimal dirt traps make it simpler for cleaning teams to quickly sanitise units as part of routine washroom maintenance.

Space-efficient designs for tight washrooms

Not every bathroom has the luxury of extra floor space. Compact, wall-mounted baby change tables fold neatly away when not in use, helping maintain clear access paths in smaller amenities and accessible cubicles. Vertical units can be a smart choice where wall width is limited, while horizontal baby change stations offer a wider changing platform where room allows.

Baby Change Stations for a Wide Range of Projects

Parents’ rooms in retail, hospitality and transport hubs

Shopping centres, cafes, restaurants, clubs, hotels and transport hubs are expected to provide comfortable, convenient parents’ rooms. A well-chosen baby change station, paired with coordinated washroom accessories, supports a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Combine your baby change tables with matching grab rails, hand dryers, paper towel dispensers and waste bins to deliver a cohesive, practical parents’ facility.

Healthcare and aged care facilities

Hospitals, medical centres and allied health clinics often require baby change tables in shared amenities and dedicated family bathrooms. Commercial baby change stations provide a stable, easy-to-clean platform suitable for frequent use. When combined with compliant grab rails and other accessibility hardware, they help support safer, more inclusive facilities for patients, carers and visitors.

Education, community and government projects

Schools, early learning centres, community hubs and government buildings increasingly incorporate parents’ rooms and family-friendly public toilets. Installing durable, low-maintenance baby change stations is a straightforward way to improve amenity for local families and visitors. John Barnes Group supports projects across Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide, from small community upgrades through to multi-site government fit-outs.

Design Options: Horizontal, Vertical, Surface-Mounted and Recessed

Horizontal vs vertical baby change stations

Horizontal baby change tables offer a wide, bench-style platform that many parents find familiar and comfortable. They’re well suited to larger parents’ rooms and unisex facilities where space is available. Vertical baby change stations are ideal where wall width is restricted or where you need to keep more clearance space around doors and circulation paths. Both styles are available in compact depths when folded, helping optimise the overall layout of your washroom design.

Surface-mounted vs recessed installation

Surface-mounted baby change stations are fixed directly to the wall face, making them suitable for a wide range of substrates and retrofit projects. Recessed models sit partly within the wall cavity, reducing the projection into the room and delivering a sleek, architectural look – perfect for premium commercial amenities and contemporary interior schemes. Your choice will depend on wall construction, available cavity depth and your design intent.

Materials, finishes and aesthetics

Most commercial baby change tables combine robust internal components with a durable outer shell, often in easy-clean polymer and stainless steel. Neutral cream, grey and off-white options complement most washroom palettes, while stainless steel fascias pair neatly with other commercial washroom accessories and architectural door hardware. This allows you to coordinate baby change stations with your broader hardware specification, including Barben accessories, Dormakaba and Lockwood locks and door controls, or contemporary Zanda lever and pull handle ranges used throughout the facility.

Compliance, Accessibility and Best Practice

Supporting Australian standards and accessibility design

Many commercial baby change stations are designed to assist with accessibility and relevant Australian guidelines when correctly selected and installed in a compliant layout. Always refer to the manufacturer’s technical data, rough-in details and fixing instructions, and work with your builder, access consultant or designer to ensure your parents’ rooms and accessible facilities meet project requirements.

Professional installation and ongoing maintenance

Baby change tables must be securely fixed to suit the product’s specified load rating. We recommend that all units are installed by a suitably qualified tradesperson, using appropriate fixings for the wall type and following manufacturer instructions. Regular inspection and cleaning will help keep hinges, safety straps and surfaces in good working condition, supporting long-term safety and user confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between horizontal and vertical baby change stations?

Horizontal baby change stations provide a wider, bench-style changing surface projecting sideways from the wall, making them a popular choice for larger parents’ rooms and unisex amenities. Vertical baby change tables mount with the longer side running up and down the wall, which can be a better option where wall width is limited or where you need to maintain more clear space near doors or fixtures. Both styles fold away when not in use to save space and improve circulation.

Where are commercial baby change tables typically installed?

Commercial baby change stations are commonly installed in dedicated parents’ rooms, unisex accessible bathrooms, female and male amenities, and family toilets in shopping centres, retail stores, cafes, clubs, hospitals, medical centres, schools, community hubs and transport facilities. The ideal location will depend on your layout and accessibility requirements, but the goal is always to provide convenient, safe and clearly signposted facilities for parents and caregivers.

Are your baby change stations suitable for Australian commercial projects?

The baby change stations available through John Barnes Group are selected for use in commercial and public facilities across Australia. Many models are designed with features and layouts that assist with accessibility and relevant Australian guidelines when installed correctly. Always review the product documentation and consult your designer, builder or access consultant to ensure your specific project meets applicable standards and codes.

Do the baby change tables include safety straps?

Most commercial baby change stations incorporate an integrated safety strap or harness to help secure infants while changing. However, designs can vary between models. We recommend checking the individual product description and images to confirm the inclusion and style of safety straps, and ensuring the strap is regularly inspected, cleaned and replaced if damaged or excessively worn.

How do I choose the right baby change station for my facility?

Start by assessing your available wall space, room layout and expected user traffic. Decide whether a horizontal or vertical baby change table is more suitable, and whether you prefer a surface-mounted or recessed installation. Consider your overall washroom aesthetic, including other hardware brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda that may already be specified. Finally, review each product’s dimensions, load rating and installation requirements to ensure it fits your project’s practical and compliance needs.

Can I buy baby change stations online for projects in Queensland and New South Wales?

Yes. You can buy baby change stations online through the John Barnes Group store and have them supplied to projects throughout Brisbane, wider Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide. Our team can assist with product selection for commercial, government and residential developments, helping you align your baby change tables with your broader washroom and door hardware specifications.

How should commercial baby change tables be cleaned and maintained?

Cleaning requirements can vary by material, so always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. As a general guide, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to wipe down surfaces, paying particular attention to high-contact areas and safety straps. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads that can damage finishes. Regular checks of fixings, hinges and straps will help ensure the unit remains safe and functional over time.

Do I need a professional to install a baby change station?

Yes, professional installation is strongly recommended. Commercial baby change stations are designed to support specified loads only when correctly fixed to a suitable wall structure using appropriate fixings. A qualified tradesperson or builder will understand how to assess the substrate, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use correct fixings to achieve a secure, long-lasting installation.
