Best Op shops in Perth

Find out why to visit our op shops in Perth and where your nearest store is to uncover a bargain that supports our programs.

Changing shopping behaviours are helping Op shops

There’s something meaningful about finding a hidden gem on a shelf, especially when that discovery helps create a better future for children. Across Perth, more people are choosing to shop second-hand. It’s a way to find affordable, quality items while making conscious choices for the planet and our communities. But not all op shops are the same, as some make a difference in Australia and globally. Save the Children’s op shops across Perth do. Every purchase helps fund our programs that protect, educate and support children in Australia and around the world.

Fast fashion is falling out of favour as shoppers are embracing more ethical and sustainable ways to buy. In Australia, growing awareness of waste and overconsumption has made second-hand shopping a movement (Monash University) and in Perth, it’s never been stronger.

Op shops offer a counter to the culture of constant buying. Choosing to shop for pre-loved items helps reduce landfill, conserve resources and shift the value we place on things. But beyond the environmental benefits, op shopping offers something more: individuality, affordability, and a chance to make a positive impact.

Op shops make every purchase count

Save the Children operates more than 16 op shops across Perth and Western Australia. Each is run by friendly volunteers and stocked with generous community donations, with proceeds supporting our work with children.

Unlike other stores, your purchases in Save the Children op shops help to deliver education, health and protection programs where they’re needed most. That might mean helping communities experiencing humanitarian emergencies, supporting early learning initiatives in remote communities, or creating safe spaces for kids fleeing conflict.

Types of items in Op shops

Every Save the Children op shop is a trove of affordable treasures. With fresh donations arriving daily, you’ll always find something new, whether you’re after a vintage dress, upcycled furniture or a unique piece of kitchenware.

Our regular stock includes:

  • Vintage and designer clothing
  • Vinyl records and music memorabilia
  • Handbags, shoes and accessories
  • Crockery, cookware and homewares
  • Quality pre-loved furniture
  • Bric-a-brac full of character

Join the movement for better shopping and brighter futures

If you want to do more, we’d love your help. Our op shops rely on volunteers, people who sort donations, greet customers and help create welcoming, community-focused spaces. It’s a rewarding way to give back and meet others who care about the same things you do. Explore our volunteering opportunities to get started.

You can also donate your pre-loved goods. We gratefully accept:

  • Clean clothing and shoes
  • Household items
  • Kitchenware and small furniture
  • Toys and books in good condition

Please don’t donate anything damaged, soiled or broken. If you wouldn’t give it to a friend, it’s probably not right for donation.
