Sometimes YMCA daycares will take them if they need anything or maybe you could call a local church to see if a family is in need of anything like that.

If they are brand new, still in packages, you can donate them to any church, synagogue, or mosque.
If they are gently used (look brand new) you can donate them to women's shelters, homeless shelters (yes, some kids are homeless too), daycares, preschools, doctor's offices, hair salons, etc....anywhere you'd see a kid. If you donate to a non-profit organization, you may be entitled to a tax exemption. (here in the United States, our government awards charity with a small exemption on your tax bill)

I don't know about Australia but here in the US you can donate them to foster care. Contact your local Social Services agency and they can give you more information. If they don't do that, contact a church. They will know of people within their congregation that can use them. Good luck! That's a nice thing you are trying to do.

Do you guys have a "Toys for Tots" program or anything similar during Christmas?

Give them to a Church, they can give them to homeless people with kids or unemployed parents with kids in their church.
