Proposed ACT laws to offer free period products

A bill to provide free period products in ACT public places including libraries, community facilities and government shop fronts has been introduced in the territory's Legislative Assembly.

The bill from Labor backbencher Suzanne Orr will also seek to address access issues to women's bathrooms in traditionally male-dominated industries.

The ACT would be the first jurisdiction to implement laws with debate on the bill expected to occur early next year.
