How your donation helps

What is the Dignity Drive?

Menstruation isn’t a choice but for many experiencing menstrual inequity, accessing essential products can come at the cost of other basic needs.

That’s why, every March and August, we invite Australians to support our Dignity Drive by donating period products. These donations are distributed through our charity partners across the country, helping women, girls, and all who menstruate especially those facing domestic violence, homelessness, or financial hardship access the products they need with dignity.

Since Share the Dignity began in 2015, we have collected and distributed millions of period products nationwide, made possible by the compassion and generosity of our supporters.

Our goal in 2026 is to collect 500,000 period products as part of our March and August Dignity Drives.

Everyone experiencing menstrual inequity deserves dignity

How to participate

It’s as easy as popping into your local Woolworths Supermarket and dropping period products into the pink collection box at the front of the store. We gratefully accept new products in original packaging, including pads, tampons, reusable pads, period undies, menstrual cups, and incontinence products at our collection points in Woolworths Supermarkets and participating businesses nationwide each March and August.

How to register as a Collection point

Business collection point registrations are currently closed

Registrations are now closed for businesses to become an official collection point for August Dignity Drive, and will re-open for our March Dignity Drive in early 2027.

By registering as a Dignity Drive collection point, your team will collect pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period undies and incontinence aids throughout the Dignity Drive. Once the Drive ends, one of our amazing volunteers will collect your donations and deliver them to local charities to support those in need.

Thank you for helping us to Share the Dignity, we look forward to having you on board in 2027!
