The Great Dunny Hunt returns in 2022!

The call has gone out again for Aussies to update local loos on The National Public Toilet Map.

Following on from last year’s success, the Continence Foundation of Australia is asking for help to update Australia’s public toilet facilities when the much-loved Great Dunny Hunt returns in 2022.

With a new twist to this year’s dunny hunting, Australians are being asked to update details of their local public toilets on the National Public Toilet Map to help other users identify which public toilet suits their individual needs quickly and easily.

During the 2021 Great Dunny Hunt there were 3877 registrations of regional public toilets nationwide, resulting in an additional 607 new entries into the National Public Toilet Map. 

“This fantastic result assisted in supporting the millions of Australians living with continence related issues by providing them with a reliable map of public toilets across the country,” said Rowan Cockerell, CEO of the Continence Foundation of Australia. 

While more information about what facilities are offered at public toilets will benefit all communities, it will be especially impactful for the one in four Australians that experience incontinence as well as the 38% of people living with a disability who are experiencing incontinence.

Without access or appropriate awareness, those living with incontinence can restrict and even limit themselves from leaving their home for everyday activities for the fear of not having access to appropriate toilet facilities.

Australians are encouraged to update the facilities from now until World Continence Week, Monday, June 20.

Dunny hunters can update the following details for toilets on the National Public Toilet Map, or add a new toilet: Male, Female, All gender, Opening times, Adult change facilities (including shower, BYO sling), Baby change, Dump point (including wash out water, afterhours access), Ambulant facilities, Sharps disposal, Showers, Sanitary, incontinence product disposal, Right and/or left transfer – important for those with one side of the body less able, Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK).
