The Nappy Collective is a community-based, not-for-profit charity, run mostly by volunteers, that collects surplus unused disposable nappies and distributes them to families in crisis across Australia. Donated nappies are passed through a network of more than 800 registered charity partners, including emergency relief, family support and domestic violence services. Collection points, including businesses and childcare centres, host donation boxes that volunteers empty. The organisation is based in Melbourne with volunteer committees in several states, and also advocates for awareness of nappy stress and reducing landfill waste.
