Time for a change

Why reusable nappies?

Disposable nappies can cost a whopping $3600 per child over 2.5 years. Switching to reusables can save an approximate $2270 per child during that time. 

There are also great savings in waste generation, no more smelly bins, and the health benefits that come from avoiding the chemicals found in disposable nappies. 

The Nappy Project helps families try out reusable nappies to see. Switching just one nappy a day will save 365 nappies a year from landfill, and benefit the household budget.

About the project

The project was designed to provide families with advice and support to try out reusable nappies. 

Fourteen Victorian councils have come together to offer training to support staff and workshops to the community. 

Some residents may also receive a nappy trial pack, funded by the program, to try at home. 

Workshops and support

Anyone can use the resources on this website to explore or try reusable nappies. 

To participate in a workshop and receive a nappy trial kit, you must live in one of the 14 council areas.
