Ballarat Repair Café Volunteering

Ballarat Repair Café is a not-for-profit group run solely by volunteers, where expert fixers mend broken items brought in by members of the public, at no cost. It aims to strengthen community and create connections by sharing repair skills, while reducing waste through extending the life of household items.

Volunteer repairers are essential, but there are also other integral roles that do not involve fixing, including greeters, café attendants, repair assistants and photographers etc. It is an environment that encourages learning, so owners of the items are encouraged to observe and participate in the repair so they may learn.

Ballarat Repair Café is held on the last Saturday of each month, from February to November, from 1pm- 4pm, at Barkly Square in Barkly St, Ballarat.
