A Century of Charitable Retail
In 2025, Australia marks an extraordinary milestone, 100 years of op shops. The term “op shop,” first coined in 1925 by Lady Millie Tallis, has come to symbolise community, reuse, and social good.
This year’s Charitable Reuse Conference celebrates that centenary with the theme “100 Years of Op Shops”. Organised by the Charitable Reuse Australia, the event brings together the nation’s leading charity retailers, reuse organisations, and circular economy innovators for two inspiring days of learning, collaboration, and celebration.
Why We’re Attending
At Cybertill, we’re proud to support the charities and social enterprises driving reuse, sustainability, and positive social impact. Our technology is designed to help organisations operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and deliver better outcomes for the communities they serve.
The Charitable Reuse Conference is a highlight in the sector’s calendar, a space where ideas spark action. We’re attending to:
- Connect with charity retailers, op shop leaders, and social enterprises.
- Explore innovations in reuse, retail, and circular models.
- Showcase how Cybertill’s cloud-based retail technology helps streamline operations, manage inventory across multiple sites, integrate eCommerce, and measure social impact.
You’ll find us at Stand 9, where our team will be on hand to chat about how we can help your organisation boost efficiency and impact through smarter retail technology.
What to Expect from the Conference
The 2025 program offers something for everyone, from plenary sessions exploring the future of reuse to the much-loved Shop Manager Breakout Sessions, focused on practical retail operations. Expect discussions on sustainability, innovation, data, volunteer management, and the next 100 years of charity retail.
We’re particularly excited to hear from sector leaders shaping the future of reuse, explore new partnerships, and share how technology can underpin operational excellence and transparency in the sector.
