Free Pads and Tampons

Menstruation, or having a period, is a natural part of life. Despite this, many people cannot afford to buy the period products they need to fully participate in school, work and social activities.

Pads and tampons are a necessity, not a luxury. People should be able to access them whenever and wherever they need them.

Free vending machines with pads and tampons are being installed at up to 700 public places across Victoria, including:

• public hospitals
• TAFEs
• courts
• libraries
• staffed train stations
• major cultural institutions like Melbourne Museum and the National Gallery of Victoria.
