Best Dressed Store (Op Shop)
Find hidden treasures of high quality, pre-loved, special occasion and work-ready clothes and accessories at our Best Dressed Store. Prices start at $5.
Op Shop in Tuggeranong
Communities at Work’s Best Dressed Store is our Op Shop in Canberra (temporarily closed). The op shop sells quality clothing, shoes and accessories, primarily for formal occasions or work, at bargain prices. We heavily rely on volunteers for the store’s day-to-day operations.
Why buy clothing at the Best Dressed Store?
“Around fifteen per cent of the Best Dressed Store’s stock is brand new. Why pay $300 for a high-quality outfit when you can get it for $30?”, says Trevor, Best Dressed Store Manager.
Money from all purchases made at the store is used to create sustainable and ongoing funding to help vulnerable clients through the Communities at Work Clothing Program, Community Pantries, and other support services provided to struggling individuals and families.

Where do the clothes come from?
The stock in the store is entirely comprised of donated items from members of the Canberra community. As one of the few upmarket op shops in Canberra, we pride ourselves on maintaining a high standard of quality and product and even stock a wide range of fashion labels.
