Membership & committee

Help steer the Repair Café.

Repair Café Southern Highlands is run by its members. Join us and we’ll work together to develop and grow a strong, supportive community group - fun, inclusive and connected. Everyone is welcome, whatever your skills.

Become a member

Members receive notice of general meetings, vote on how the association is run, and stand for the committee if they wish.

You don’t need to repair anything, attend every café, or have any particular expertise. Caring about the idea is enough.

Join the committee

The committee meets a handful of times a year to make the practical decisions: dates, venues, spending, safety, partnerships and where we head next.

Roles include president, secretary, treasurer and ordinary members. Skills in bookkeeping, grant writing, records, safety or community liaison are especially welcome.

A realistic commitment

  • Members: a general meeting once a year.
  • Committee: a meeting each quarter, usually an hour, plus emails between.
  • Office bearers: a little more, shared about.

Expression of interest

This is an expression of interest, not a commitment - send it in and we’ll have a conversation about what suits you. Membership applications are considered by the committee, and new committee members are elected at a general meeting.

Email us with the details below and we’ll come back to you.
