We started in November 2017 and in the 6 repair cafes we’ve had so far we’ve had 151 visitors and our volunteer fixers have fixed 85 items, with another 42 needing some extra parts. That’s a total of 242 kg of ‘stuff’ saved from landfill, not to mention many happy people (see the photos elsewhere on this website).

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

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 except January, from 2-5 pm.

(No new items for fixing accepted after 4:30pm)

Please note: Parking in the area can be challenging. Allow plenty of time, and if you have large items needing fixing, perhaps come with someone and drop them off with the items then go looking for a parking spot.
