Thank you for your question. I can only talk more generically, not knowing your specific situation, but in terms of joining, the process is the same for all applicants. In basic training you will find separate rooms for different genders and after trade training, in most unit locations, you will be given your own room to live in. All working environments I have served in have had separate gender ablutions and provision for differently abled employees.
On exercise and on operations, sometimes it is difficult to make all the provisions we normally would in barracks, but every effort is made to account for the variety of service personnel we employ, from vegetarian ration packs to portaloos assigned to women only.
