Since November 2017:

On average, our fixers and menders have fixed or ‘almost fixed’ two out of every three items brought in and saved over a tonne of items from landfill!

If you’re interested in helping keep the St Kilda Repair Cafe up and running, please contact John Hillel:

– by phone 9807 9653

– by email  stkilda.repaircafe@gmail.com

– or fill in the form on our Get involved page.

Please note: 

All our fixers are VOLUNTEERS, and there is no charge made for the fixes they do. However any donations people would like to make are welcomed to help us cover our costs (website, glues & other materials used from time to time.)

Our Repair Cafes are held on the second Sunday of every month from March to December, 2-5 pm, though this year there will be no Repair Cafe in April as the second Sunday in April is Easter Sunday.

This year’s dates:

Sunday 8th March

Sunday 10th May

Sunday 14th June

Sunday 12th July

Sunday 16th August

Sunday 13th September

Sunday 11th October

Sunday 8th November

Sunday 13th December

(No new items for fixing accepted after 4:30pm. We tend to get a ‘rush’ at 2pm, so a good tip is to turn up around 3:30pm when things tend to quieten down a bit.)

Please note: Parking in the area can be challenging. Allow plenty of time, and if you have large items needing fixing, you can park for a few minutes in the PPEC driveway (on Herbert St), drop off your item, and then go looking for a parking spot.
