Choosing the right toilet for your new bathroom might not seem like the most glamorous aspect of your project, but once you get into it, it’s easy to see why it can be one of the most important.

Beyond aesthetics, there’s a lot to consider, from water efficiency and sustainability to seat comfort and technology advancements that can truly elevate your bathroom experience.

With so much to review, it can be tricky to know which option is right for you. Below, we’ve done the hard bit and found the five best toilets in Australia for 2026 to help you decide.

What to Look For When Choosing a Toilet

When choosing a toilet, it’s not just about looks alone. There are a few key metrics that are worth factoring in, including:

• WELS Rating:Australia's Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme rates toilets from 1 to 6 stars. A higher star rating means better water efficiency, so aim for at least 4 stars.
  
  
• Flush System: Dual-flush toilets are standard in Australia and help conserve water. Look for a half-flush of around 3L and a full flush of 4.5L or less.
  
  
• Toilet Design: Back-to-wall, wall-hung, and close-coupled are the most common styles. Wall-hung toilets look sleek and make cleaning easier, while close-coupled models can be more affordable.
