Human Services Identified by Morgan Disney Review

This is the list of Human Services identified by the Morgan Disney Review of Human Services servicing the Redfern Waterloo Area. Please note that this list was put together in the second half of 2004 and has not been updated so changes in personel, service funding and contact details will not be reflected in the list. The list does however put names to the services identified by Morgan Disney which were not released with their Report. File is 311 Kb MS Word document.

Local Public Toilets

With many people homeless and many people have incontinence problems it is important to be able to find a public toilet. For many people their trip depends on knowing where toilets are. Here we have provided a link to public toilets in the City of Sydney but you can use this site to find them around Australia. In Redfern Waterloo the map tells us they are at Railway Stations (for those with a ticket) and Shopping Centres in Broadway and Surry Hills. If you are in Waterloo where many aged people live the national database can not help you.
