36 Places You Can Buy Face Masks in Australia

It’s getting to the point where we all should have at least one face mask on hand. It’s a social responsibility. With Melbourne going into mandatory use, searches for ‘face mask Australia’ have skyrocketed, and for good reason. It’s becoming harder and harder to find places you can buy face masks and protective masks. Whether you’re in need of the face mask Melbourne officials are legally enforcing you to wear, or you just want to keep yourself protected, a quality face covering has become a necessity rather than a wardrobe essential.

Well, it’s time to stop wondering where to buy face masks online. Below is our roundup of the best places you can buy face masks Australia wide, or international. Strap in, get your filters ready and prepare to be protected. There’s a helluva lot of selection, from camouflage face masks to cut face masks, we’ll tell you exactly where to buy your next pack.

Face Mask Basics

First of all, let’s go through the bare essentials. According to the CDC, a cloth face covering should fit both snugly and comfortably, secured with ties or ear loops, and include multiple layers of fabric (three layers is best), that allow breathing without restriction. We’d also recommend a waterproof outer layer for best results. Also, make sure they’re machine washable without causing damage.

It should be noted that N95 Filters are considered critical supplies, and are reserved for healthcare workers.

Where to Buy Face Masks Australia

It bears reminding that the number of people buying face masks at this time is unprecedented. Don’t be surprised if some of the masks on this list have already sold-out, however, that isn’t always the end of the line. Most face mask producers are updating their websites daily to keep consumers abreast of what is happening. Just because the mask says ‘sold out’ today, doesn’t mean they won’t be available tomorrow. It pays to check in daily. The other thing to mention is delivery times. It’s likely that due to the high demand, you might be waiting upwards of 4-5 days for your mask. Be prepared to wait.

Tips for face masks:

• Three layers of fabric

• Don’t microwave your face mask (seriously, people try it)

• Only use a disposable face mask once

• Avoid dampness

• Remember, your face mask is only as effective as your hygiene and distancing
