Frequently Asked Questions: Donating in Hobart
Where can I donate clothing in Hobart?
You'll find charity bins at shopping centres like Eastlands in Rosny and Northgate in Glenorchy. Hobart City Mission, Lifeline Tasmania, and Vinnies all operate op shops that accept direct donations. The Salamanca and Battery Point areas have boutique charity shops, while RACT branches in Hobart, Glenorchy, and Kingston collect donations for Dress for Success Tasmania.
What does Hobart City Mission do with donations?
100% of profits from Hobart City Mission Op Shops support their community programs. They accept good quality clothing, bric-a-brac, furniture, books, and artwork. Donations help fund services for vulnerable Tasmanians including emergency relief, housing support, and community meals.
Can I donate professional clothing in Tasmania?
Yes! Dress for Success Tasmania accepts professional women's clothing to help job seekers present confidently at interviews. RACT branches across Southern Tasmania (Hobart, Kingston, Glenorchy) and Launceston have dedicated collection bins. Business suits, appropriate footwear, and accessories are especially valuable.
What should I avoid donating?
Never donate items that are torn, stained, or smelly — charities must pay to dispose of unusable goods. This diverts funds from helping those in need. Across Australia, charities spend $13 million annually on landfill disposal. The golden rule: if you wouldn't give it to a friend, find another way to dispose of it.
