Where to purchase a Ballarat-made face mask
Face coverings will soon become mandatory across all of Victoria.
That means from Sunday 2 August at 11:59pm, you will need a face covering whenever you leave home – no matter where you live.
And while it's important we're all wearing a mask and protecting one another, it doesn't mean they can't be stylish.
To help you in your search for a mask, we've put together a list of local creators and businesses currently making and selling them.
