About Chupis: A Menstrual Health Charity

Chupis is a women-led health promotion charity helping women and girls access culturally safe menstrual health education and sustainable menstrual products. We believe everyone deserves to understand their body, feel confident asking questions and manage their period with dignity. Yet financial hardship, shame and gaps in education can leave women and girls without the knowledge, products or support they need. Through community-led workshops, practical resources and partnerships, Chupis creates welcoming spaces to learn, share experiences and strengthen confidence, with a particular focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Our work goes beyond providing period products. It’s about breaking down barriers and ensuring menstrual health is understood, supported and spoken about openly.
