How to install laundry basin sink S trap with washing machine connection?

Hi. I just have my laundry renovated. Just finished the flooring tiles , cabinets and bench top. Now it is time for install the S trap pvc fitting for the drain.

The older drains is uninstalled and the photo is belows

Now I am looking for the new one in Bunnings, I found Bunnings have the S trap for sale like this:

I found the side drain is only designed for dishwasher which the hold is smaller design for low flow of water. I am not sure is it suitable for my washing machine as well?

And I try to go to Bunnings to designed the PVC fitting by my myself , but there is no U shape PVC fitting and Sepcila washing machine drain connect ( bigger size for special for washing machine)sale in Bunnings

I found Mydeal.com.au have the item for sale which is quite fitted. But it is P trap design.
