Share the Dignity is a women's charity in Australia, that works to make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. Their goal in 2025 is to collect 500,000 period products as part of their March and AUGUST Dignity Drives.

Share the Dignity accepts brand new, sealed period products like pads, tampons, reusable pads, period-proof underwear, and menstrual cups. We welcome you to visit our Centre and donate to help us

We are open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm.

"With the cost of everything rising, sometimes I had to make decisions between whether I buy food or buy period products. Could I stretch my pads or tampons out and use toilet paper or socks towards the end of my period."

Can you imagine having to use socks to manage your period? It sounds unthinkable, but for some, it’s the heartbreaking reality.

Donate period products during our August Dignity Drive to make a real on the ground difference to those in need.

Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer by as soon as 2035, due to our strong vaccination program and the high rate of participation in the National Cervical Screening Program.

But people with disability are at risk of being left behind.

Cervical screening is for everyone with a cervix aged 25 to 74 every five years. It’s a short, easy test that can be done by your doctor or your nurse, or you have the option to do the test yourself through self-collection. Whatever is most comfortable for you – it’s your choice.

Find out more at www.health.gov.au/screen-me or call us on 94310500 to speak with one of our Nurses.
