Free Period Products in Every ACT School | Adelaide News
Description
Every public school bathroom in the Australian Capital Territory now stocks free period products—pads and tampons, no questions asked. This bold move, sparked by student activists from Canberra High School in 2021, tackles period poverty head-on, letting students grab what they need without embarrassment or awkwardness. Schools report dramatic drops in missed classes—from 33% to just 3%—and some students even take supplies home for family members. While access is a huge win, educators say the next step is normalizing conversations about menstruation for everyone.
