In Australia, most states have introduced initiatives to provide people who menstruate with free period care products in public schools.
The Queensland government’s recent announcement of free period care products for state schools is excellent progress.
However, there is value in enhancing the program by providing reusable products to reduce waste to landfill, by educating boys and other students who don’t menstruate, and tailoring this initiative appropriately for remote and Indigenous People who menstruate.
