📢 Free sanitary products now available across all campuses!
We’re proud to support a Victorian Government initiative providing free pads and tampons across Grampians Health.
New vending machines have been installed in accessible non-gender toilets at our Ballarat, Horsham, Stawell, Dimboola and Edenhope campuses thanks to our Support Services team – helping remove barriers, reduce stress and support a more inclusive experience for everyone.
Chief Redevelopment and Infrastructure Officer Veronica Furnier said the project represented an important step toward building a more inclusive and supportive healthcare environment.
“By offering free pads and tampons in convenient locations, we’re helping to normalise menstrual health, reduce stigma and ensure that no one is placed under unnecessary stress because they don’t have access to essential products,” Veronica said.
📍Located in the toilets located in Urgent Care and the Community Rehabilitation Centre.
