Pinchapoo: Packs that give back

For people doing it tough, necessities like shampoo or a bar of soap can have a huge impact. By providing essential items to those in need, Pinchapoo is fighting hygiene poverty across the country. 

'One in three Australians are currently struggling with hygiene poverty. Our mission is to ensure that anyone facing hygiene poverty has a safe personal hygiene solution for their situation,' said Kate Austin, founder and CEO of Pinchapoo. 

Hygiene packs are often given to patients in hospital, helping them maintain dignity during a challenging time. 'In hospitals, our patient packs are a valuable tool for nurses to engage positively with patients.' 

'We’re grateful for nurses, not just for what they do for our communities but also for helping us to identify patients facing hygiene poverty so we can provide support.' 

This International Nurses Day, we distributed over 15,000 pamper packs to nurses across Australia to ensure that they can take a moment for themselves too.
