Getting men back out there.
The BINS4Blokes initiative.
A national awareness and advocacy campaign calling for incontinence product disposal bins in male public toilets across Australia - so that men and boys managing incontinence can participate fully in community life.
For clinicians, carers and support coordinators working with men who manage incontinence, one of the most consistent barriers to social participation is a practical one: there is nowhere to discreetly dispose of incontinence products in male public toilets. BINS4Blokes is the national campaign working to remove that barrier - one bin at a time.
What is the BINS4Blokes campaign?
BINS4Blokes is a national awareness and advocacy campaign run by Continence Health Australia. The campaign calls on local councils, shopping centres, sporting stadiums, universities, workplaces and all organisations with public toilets to install at least one incontinence product disposal bin in one cubicle of every male public toilet facility.
For men managing post-prostatectomy incontinence, neurological bladder conditions or any other cause of urinary leakage, the ability to discreetly dispose of products while out is a meaningful quality-of-life factor - and one that clinicians and support coordinators can actively advocate for.
One bin. One cubicle. Every male public toilet.
Public opinion may be that incontinence rarely affects men - but this is not true. For boys and men who use incontinence products, there are very few or no places to dispose of them. This can prevent them from leaving their homes and joining in everyday activities. BINS4Blokes believes every Australian should have access to safe, discreet disposal options.
Three goals. One mission.
