Unisex accessible toilet, left hand — a braille and tactile sign at $135, in silver with the international symbol of access, raised characters and grade 1 uncontracted braille.
The handing is the part that matters. Left hand and right hand refer to the transfer side: which side of the pan the circulation space sits on, seen as you face the toilet. The sign has to match the room it is on. A left-hand sign on a right-hand pan is not a cosmetic error — it tells a wheelchair user to expect their transfer space on the wrong side before they are through the door, and it is a straightforward defect for a certifier to pick up at inspection.
Tactile and braille signage is governed by AS 1428.1, which sets the character height, the raised profile, the braille, the luminance contrast and the mounting position. The matt finish is part of that: a gloss sign fails the standard regardless of how good the contrast looks on paper.
Check the floor plan before ordering, not the door. The handing is drawn on the plan; on site it is easy to read the wrong way round.
