Why volunteer?

When you volunteer with us, you become part of a passionate, nationwide movement working to achieve menstrual equity for all. Join us today to play a vital role in helping us to ensure that no one in Australian communities goes without the basic dignity of period products.

Meet new people and make a positive impact on your community

Ways to Volunteer

We have a variety of different types of volunteer opportunities from seasonal to all year round. You get to choose how to support making a real change for menstrual equity in Australia!

Our Sheroes & Heroes generally volunteer in a solo capacity, but there is opportunity for social connection through meet ups, our online community and of course, events in your community.

Time Commitment

Volunteer when it suits you

Our incredible volunteer community comes to life during our three major Drives in March, August, and November, when your passion makes the biggest impact.

You can jump in for a specific Drive, help at a one-off event, or step into a specialised role. If life gets busy, take a break and return when it suits you. We simply ask that you take part in at least one opportunity each year.

During Drive periods, most volunteers give just 3–5 hours a week, and every hour helps share the dignity for all.

We're excited for you to Join us

I like being a Shero and developing a relationship with the charities in my town. You get first-hand knowledge of how tough it is for some people.”
