Op Shops
Save money and save lives at our Op Shops
You’ll get more than just retail therapy when you shop at one of Save the Children’s many op shops, situated in convenient locations around Australia. Not only will you pick yourself up an array of recycled fashion pieces, toys, books and even some vintage and modern day gems, your purchases will help to create better lives for children in Australia and overseas. Our op shops are staffed by friendly volunteers who only add to the unique shopping experience.
Please note: our op shops are unable to accept mattresses.
Op shop locations
Our stores rely on volunteers to help us operate. As such, the opening hours are subject to change at short notice, depending on volunteer availability.
To find your closest Op shop, search Google Maps for Save the Children Op Shop (your suburb).
Volunteers
Our volunteers are at the heart of Save the Children. They come from all backgrounds, range in age from 18 to 98, and bring a wealth of skills, experience, and passion to our organisation.
Our op shops are powered by volunteers, and their dedication makes a real difference every day. Many of our retail volunteers have been with us for years, helping create welcoming spaces for customers, communities, and each other.
If you're over 18 and looking for a rewarding way to give back, explore our current volunteer opportunities via the link below.
