Use a directory or map
Op Shops Hub has a locations directory where you can browse op shops by state and suburb. That gives you a list of stores in your area without having to check each charity separately. You can also search “op shop” and your suburb name in Google Maps to see pins and opening hours.
Chain store finders
Most of Australia’s op shops are run by a few large chains. Using their official finders is the most reliable way to get current addresses and hours for op shops near me.
- Vinnies (St Vincent de Paul): Find a Vinnies shop – choose your state, then suburb or postcode.
- Salvos (Salvation Army): Salvos store locator – search by location to see Salvos stores near you.

- Red Cross: Search “Red Cross op shop [your state]” for a list of Red Cross shops.

Search by suburb or postcode
If you want every op shop in your area (including smaller or independent ones), search in Google or Bing for “op shop [suburb]” or “charity shop [postcode]”.
