Learn about Red Cross Shops

Red Cross Shops help to power the humanitarian work of Red Cross in Australia and around the world. We also play a crucial role in closing the loop on textile waste by diverting high quality vintage and preloved clothing from landfill.

What can you find in a Red Cross Shop?
Red Cross Shops offer a carefully curated selection of high quality new and pre-loved items including seasonal clothing, shoes, accessories, and homewares. We know our customers love a treasure hunt, so we ensure our shops are always full of variety, fun pieces, and vibrant displays.

We also have a loyalty program that rewards our regular shoppers with discounts. When you spend over $10 or donate to a Red Cross Shop you receive a stamp on your loyalty card, once you reach 10 stamps, you’ll get 25% off your next purchase.

Ask our friendly volunteers for one next time you’re in a Red Cross Shop.

When you buy from or donate to a Red Cross Shop your actions have an economic, social, and environmental impact.

• Economic: charitable recyclers in Australia including Red Cross, generate 1 billion dollars per year for the economy, a significant amount of this goes to support social programs around Australia and in other parts of the world.
  
  
• Social: Our stores provide an environment where volunteers are supported and celebrated for their contribution and where locals feel welcome to pop in, connect and be a part of their community.
