Every visit to a Mecwacare opportunity shop helps support programs and services for older people and people living with disability in the local community.

From vintage treasures and books to quality clothing and household items, you’ll never know what you’ll discover.

Both our East Malvern and Ballan op shops are conveniently located close to public transport.

Find unique treasures, support your community and help give quality items a second life.

Shop sustainably

Choosing preloved goods helps reduce waste, gives quality items a second life and supports a more sustainable future.
