Repair Café Perth
Repair Cafe Perth is a community meeting place in Mount Hawthorn where visitors bring in broken items and learn to fix them with the help of a volunteer expert.
Our volunteers are talented individuals in our community with the ability to fix bikes, electrical items, clothing, toys, small furniture and other non-electrical items, or those tinkerers who really know their glue, tape and string. Specialty repairers are invited to contact us, even if it’s for a once-off special session.
We also have volunteers who aren’t repairers: photographers, chaperones, or those who man the reception table.
If you would like to volunteer your time for the two-hour sessions at any of the monthly repair sessions (3rd Saturday of each month), please fill out this form.

The Man Walk
The Man Walk Australia is a not-for-profit association which promotes and supports men’s physical, social and mental wellbeing.
The Man Walk is a simple concept designed to strengthen communities and combat isolation. We do this by connecting men to walk, talk and support in a positive and inclusive environment. There is no judgement, pressure or expectations. Simply turn up when you feel like it, walk with a group of like-minded blokes, and be a part of The Man Walk community.
6:30am Fridays and Saturdays!
