Menstrual Health & Education Across Australia

At Chupis, we believe every woman and girl in Australia deserves to manage her period with dignity, confidence and access to the care she needs. Yet the cost of menstrual products, gaps in education, stigma and limited access to suitable facilities can make this difficult. We do what we can to help break down these barriers through culturally safe education, open conversations and practical support.

Our hope is that women and girls understand their bodies, feel comfortable seeking help and can participate fully in school, work, sport and community life. A period-friendly Australia means affordable products, safe places to change and wash, informed communities and periods being treated as a normal part of life. There is still work to do, but by working alongside schools, charities and communities, we can help build a future where no one is held back because of their period.

Over 300 Pairs: Ready to make a difference

Thanks to Share the Dignity, Chupis has received over 300 pairs of period underwear for distribution through our menstrual health programs. These reusable products will help women and girls manage their periods with comfort, confidence and dignity. They will also help ease the cost of period care.

This donation shows the power of collaboration. By working together, charities and communities can reach more people and make a greater difference. Together, we’re pairing culturally safe education with practical support for women and girls across Australia.

Enquire about our Training Programs

 

Chupis delivers culturally safe menstrual health education that helps women and girls build knowledge, confidence and wellbeing. First Nations women developed our programs with input from communities. Each session combines practical learning, interactive activities and open conversations in a supportive setting. We explore puberty, periods, menstrual care, nutrition, healthy relationships, and social and emotional wellbeing. Participants also learn about their bodies and how to care for themselves.

We can tailor our programs for schools, community organisations, sporting groups and communities across Australia. This helps us provide respectful, relevant education that responds to each group’s needs.
