Australian Wig Libraries & Cancer Headwear Support Directory

Jas Fashion   >  29 October 2026

Find wig libraries across Australia offering free wig loans, affordable wig hire, free chemo hats, turbans and headscarves for cancer patients. Browse hospital and community services by state, with contact details, addresses and fees.

Australian Wig Library Directory – Free & Low-Cost Wig Support

Source and verification notice: Every listing links to a provider page or a clearly identified independent source. An official hospital cancer-centre page alone does not establish that a wig library operates there. Historical and unconfirmed services are marked as such. Website information does not guarantee current appointments, eligibility or fees. Please call before visiting.

Looking for a wig library or cancer headwear support in Australia? Browse the state-by-state directory below for hospital wig services, community wig libraries, wig loans, fitting services and headwear assistance. Services and fees vary by organisation.

Our coverage: Jas Fashion Australia is based in Sydney, New South Wales. We have more extensive historical contacts in NSW and are working to improve coverage of Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Organisations in all states and territories are welcome to contact us for a free listing or correction.

Before you visit: Please telephone the provider to check whether it currently operates, accepts new clients, requires an appointment, has eligibility restrictions, and charges a hire fee or refundable deposit. “Historical – reconfirm” means the listing has not been independently reverified for 2026. A listing is not a promise that wigs or headwear are available.

Find services by state or territory

Source links prioritise official hospital, government and service-provider pages. Where a provider-specific wig service cannot be confirmed, the status explains the limitation. Historical listings should not be treated as verified current services.

Source verification note (29 October 2026): Where available, the Source column links directly to the service provider or government health service. Entries without an independent source remain research leads, not confirmed current services. Please telephone before visiting. Fees and eligibility can change. This directory is independently compiled and is not endorsed by the listed organisations.

Do you manage a wig library, hospital wig service, charity or headwear support program? We particularly welcome services outside NSW to help us build a more complete national directory. Listings and corrections are free and do not require a purchase from Jas Fashion.

Email Jas Fashion to register or update your service

Please provide your organisation name, state, public service address, public telephone or email, website (if any), services offered, whether wigs are free/loaned/hired/sold, applicable fees or deposits, eligibility, appointment requirements and whether you currently accept new clients. Do not send patient information.

Directory declaration and important information

Independent community information: This directory is compiled and maintained by Jas Fashion Australia as a free information resource. It is not an official government register, nor is it operated by Look Good Feel Better or Cancer Council. Listing an organisation does not imply that it endorses Jas Fashion, or that Jas Fashion endorses or currently works with that organisation.

Accuracy and availability: Entries come from historical Jas Fashion correspondence, historical historical directory material, and linked provider information. Historical information may be out of date. Some entries describe oncology support services for which a dedicated wig library has not been confirmed. We do not guarantee current operating status, stock, pricing, eligibility, accessibility or appointment availability. Always check directly with the organisation.

Fees and eligibility: “Ask provider” means we have not established the current charge; it does not mean the service is free. Wig loans, hire fees, refundable deposits and subsidised services may have conditions.

Corrections and removal: Organisations may request updates or removal by emailing support@jasfashion.com.au. We review submissions before publication. We do not publish internal staff contact details from historical business correspondence as public contact points without confirmation.

Directory preparation: October 2026. This is a growing directory with particularly extensive historical NSW coverage; not every listing has been independently verified in 2026. For each listing, consult the Source and Status columns.
