Free pads and tampons available across three EGHS sites in Ararat and Willaura

Vending machines, giving access to free pads and tampons, have been installed in three locations at East Grampians Health Service.

The vending machines are located in the Community Health Centre, Medical Imaging (radiology) Department and at Willaura Health Care in the Day Centre, and are available for use by anyone in the community.

Pads and tampons aren’t a luxury, they are essential to health and wellbeing, and people should be able to access them whenever and wherever they need to, with the State Government rollout of the program to see 1500 machines located across 700 sites in Victoria.

The vending machines are easy to use and available for anyone who requires them. Please ask EGHS’s friendly staff in any of the locations if you require help in using them.
