To access the Changing Places facilities provided by the City of Mandurah, people need a Master Locksmiths Access Key. The City doesn't offer a loan key option, so people are encouraged to apply for or purchase their own key. Wheelchair accessible toilets are still available where Changing Places facilities are located and can be accessed without a key.

For WA Companion Card holders, MLAK keys are currently free for a limited time. To apply, email wacompanioncard@nds.org.au with your full name, date of birth, and current postal address, or call 1800 617 337.

MLAK keys can also be ordered from the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia Ltd. They are available for purchase by individuals with disabilities, family members, support workers, and disability organisations.
