How the Mobile Wig & Headwear Library works
We’ve designed this service to be simple, flexible and client-led.
Step 1: Browse our online library
Once you’re registered, we’ll send you a link to our online library of wigs and headwear so you can browse styles in your own time.
Step 2: Choose up to six styles
Select up to six wigs or headwear pieces you’d like to try based on your preferences for style, colour and fit.
Step 3: Home delivery by our volunteers
Our volunteers will deliver your selected items directly to your home, allowing you to try them on comfortably and privately.
Step 4: Choose your wig
You can keep one wig free of charge. If you’d like additional wigs or headwear, these can be purchased at an affordable cost.
Step 5: Collection of remaining items
Around one week later, our volunteers will return to collect the remaining wigs, making the process easy and stress-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can access the Mobile Wig & Headwear Library?
The service is available free to eligible people in the Hunter region undergoing breast cancer treatment.
Can I purchase additional wigs or headwear?
Yes. If you would like more than one wig or additional headwear, these can be purchased at an affordable cost.
How long do I have to decide?
You’ll usually have around one week to try on the wigs before our volunteers return to collect the remaining items.
Are the wigs cleaned and maintained?
Yes. All wigs are professionally cleaned and prepared before being loaned to clients.
Does the first wig really cost nothing?
Yes. The first wig is provided free of charge thanks to community support and our generous sponsor.
Do I need to leave my home to use this service?
No. Our volunteers deliver and collect the wigs from your home, so you can try everything privately and comfortably.
What if I don’t like any of the wigs I selected?
That’s okay. We understand it can take time to find the right fit. We can discuss next steps and alternative options with you.
Can I come to your office to look at the wigs?

Our Wig & Headwear Library wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our sponsor The Mutual Bank.
