About us
FROM THE BOTTOM, UP.
We are here to amplify people’s stories. Here’s ours:
WE NEEDED A BETTER WAY TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY AND CHRONIC ILLNESS
When it’s as simple as switching your essentials, how can anyone say no?
Our goal was simple
UNITE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH OUR COMMON GROUND; SHH!T HAPPENING AND THE BASIC NEED FOR GREAT TOILET PAPER.
People with disability share the same dreams as everyone else, but not the same opportunities. If you have a disability or chronic illness, you face disproportionate levels of discrimination and disadvantage.
You have the power to change this with us. The disability community is the only marginalised group that you can become a member of at any time - waiting until you’re impacted to care is risky. By making the switch to SHH!T Happens, you’re investing in a better and more inclusive future for everyone.
WE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, PLANET AND PURPOSE.
We make the tough choices to prioritise our 3Ps, so your choice can be easy. We invest in bringing you the most environmentally-friendly options, that boost Australian jobs and give back to those who need it most. Your investment in us, means our impact is amplified.
Not Your Typical CEO
Jenny DOAN
Jenny Doan has always challenged what’s possible. She solo cycled across 21 countries and broke three Guinness World Records with a hula hoop. At 34, she left her 9–5 to pursue motivational speaking full-time. On her final day of work, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic condition affecting the brain and spinal cord.
Shh!t Happens.
Rather than stepping back, Jenny leaned into a new chapter. As she began sharing her experiences with MS, she saw firsthand how many people living with chronic conditions and disabilities were being excluded from meaningful employment.
That realisation shifted her focus from awareness to action.
When the opportunity to lead Shh!t Happens arose, the alignment was immediate. A brand built on turning an everyday essential into employment opportunities for people living with chronic conditions and disabilities wasn’t just clever; it was practical, scalable impact. Today, Jenny leads Shh!t Happens with a simple belief: by changing something as ordinary as the toilet paper we buy — at home, at work, and everywhere in between — we can create meaningful, measurable change.
