Free pads and tampons are now available from vending machines at the Kinglake and Yea Library and Customer Service Centres.
This is part of Victoria’s nation-leading $23 million commitment to provide free pads and tampons in public places, now rolling out statewide. The program aims to make period products more accessible when and where they’re needed.
Following a successful first phase – with over 25,000 products dispensed across metropolitan Melbourne – vending machines are now being installed in libraries, customer service centres, and major sports facilities across the state.
