That could make a great comedy sketch.

A posh-speaking student on walkabout takes a temp job explaining public toilets to urban Australian pedestrians.

A few iterations later, and I still find myself trying to think of ways to make the premise less offensive...live comedy must be ridiculously difficult these days.

It could make for solid comedy. I'm thinking something about the ick factor about assisting someone void, like an elderly person or a person with a movement disorder, as revulsion humor with a growing dawn of the human feeling that eventually we all become frail or incapable (if we are fortunate to live long enough, or survive an accident, or survive a life being born with an ability different), and that by serving others all benefit.
