Councils offering rebate programs

Reusable rebate programs are a great way of helping to offset some of the upfront cost of setting your family up with reusable products like Cloth Nappies, Reusable Wipes, Swim Nappies, and Sanitary products. Although they often don't pay for the full cost, they do help to put money back into your pocket.

Below is a list we have compiled of councils that offer a permanent or trial rebate program for using reusable cloth nappies and/or other reusable sanitary products.
