A community based not-for-profit organisation is ensuring that all Australian children have nappies that allow them to remain clean, healthy, and happy.
The Nappy Collective began in 2013 and has distributed 8 million nappies to families in need, including over a million in 2024.
The Benalla office of Nationals MP Annabelle Cleeland, is still accepting donations to ‘The Nappy Collective’.
Ms Cleeland said nappies delivered to her office by community members in 2024 have already been given to people in need.
“It has been so incredible to see so many people within our community donate nappies for children in need,” Ms Cleeland said.

“We have recently sent donations to The Nappy Collective so they can continue to distribute them to trusted community partners and support local families.
“I am still proud to have my office remain as a collection point during 2025, and I welcome anyone to donate for this great cause.”
Currently, one in 10 families, or 280,000 children, don’t have enough nappies – a situation known as 'nappy stress'.
Nappy stress can impact families facing financial hardship and homelessness, escaping domestic violence, seeking asylum or those impacted by natural disasters.
“This charity is helping support young children and families in incredibly vulnerable situations,” Ms Cleeland said.
“Being able to provide nappies to those in need may be overlooked as a crucial service, but it is so important, and The Nappy Collective is able to address this efficiently and with dignity for these families.”
