Our Government Petition

Help Us Change the Law to Protect Men's Dignity

We have filed a petition to make it a legal requirement for all public and commercial toilets to have a sanitary bin, regardless of gender.

Currently, the law only requires sanitary bins in female or mixed-gender toilets, as outlined in:

• Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992

• Environmental Protection Act 1990

• Water Industries Act 1991

These regulations ensure that businesses provide a safe and hygienic way to dispose of waste, protecting public health and hygiene standards.

Why This Matters

For men living with prostate cancer, prostate issues, or age-related male health problems, the absence of sanitary bins can be humiliating and undignified.

Providing sanitary bins in all toilets means men can:

• Maintain their dignity and privacy

• Leave their homes with confidence

• Manage their health needs safely and hygienically

Imagine your dad, brother, uncle, cousin, godfather, or friend navigating these issues without access to proper facilities. It's a reality many men face daily — and we believe it's time for a change.

How You Can Help

To have the government debate this petition, we need over 100,000 signatures. With widespread support, we believe we could reach over a million.

Even if you haven't personally been affected, there may be a man in your life — a family member, friend, or colleague — who could benefit from this change. Your signature can help improve DIGNITY FOR MEN™ across the country.

Please help us change the law. Sign the petition today:
