Hillvale

Hillvale Independent Photo Lab in Melbourne, Australia. Please contact us directly at [email protected] Hillvale is an independent photo lab in Melbourne.

We work a bit differently than other labs, here's why:

We are not a traditional 'store-front' business, instead we offer you multiple locations to drop off your film. From there we pick up the film, process, scan and upload the images for you to download. Please check our website - www.hillvale.com.au - for current drop locations.

Re-di cameras are back for 2026.

We’ve cleaned and reloaded a huge batch of 1,000 disposable cameras with fresh film, all in-house at Hillvale.

We know plenty of you love shooting with disposable cameras, so we created a recycling program to give the camera bodies a longer life. Throughout the year, as disposable cameras come through our lab for processing, we save suitable bodies, clean them up and reload them for our next Re-di release.

Once you’ve finished the roll, return the whole camera to Hillvale for processing and scanning. We’ll save the body for a future run, helping keep more cameras in circulation and out of landfill.

Available now online, in-store and from Hillvale vending machines.
