Bobs Garage

It’s not just a building — it’s a movement to build better lives, together.

Bob’s Garage is a dedicated men’s health and wellbeing hub in Gladstone, created to support local blokes of all ages through connection, support services, and practical help. Established by McCosker as a community gift, the space brings together local organisations to deliver counselling, health programs, and mateship in a safe, welcoming environment.

Introducing “The Pit Stop” – Men’s Circles at Bob’s Garage

Life doesn’t come with a manual — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

From April 20, Bob’s Garage is launching The Pit Stop — a structured, safe and confidential space for men to come together, talk openly, and support one another.

These aren’t surface-level chats.
This is real conversation.

Led by professional counsellors and respected members of our community with lived experience, The Pit Stop is designed to give men a place to:

Share what’s really going on
Listen without judgment
Build connection and support
Take a moment to reset and refocus

No pressure. No fixing. No ego.
Just a space to be heard.

Whether you’re going through a tough time or just want to connect with other good men — this is for you.

All men are welcome.

📅 Starting April 20
📍 10 William Street, Gladstone
🌐 www.bobsgarage.org.au

Take the time. Make the stop.

Happy Easter.

Enjoy the break, the time with loved ones, and the slower pace.

And don’t forget — check in on your mates.

A quick message or call might mean more than you think.

01/04/2026

Heading into the Easter break, just a reminder —

Check your mates.
Check yourself.

Not everyone is travelling well, even if it looks like they are.

A quick message, a phone call, or catching up for a chat can go a long way.

Stay safe on the roads, stay connected — that’s what it’s all about.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re sending a little extra love to our community 💙

At Bob’s Garage, it’s all about connection — checking in on your mates, having the conversations that matter, and knowing you’re not on your own.

Whether today is full of roses or just another Friday, remember:
❤️ It’s okay to talk
❤️ It’s okay to ask for help
❤️ And it’s always okay to look out for each other

If you or someone you know needs support, Bob’s Garage is here — a safe, welcoming place for men at any stage of life.

Happy Valentine’s Day 💙

On Saturday, Bob’s Garage hosted a focus group session to help shape a new Men’s Circle program designed specifically for our local community.

A big thank you to John and Marion from Connetica consulting guiding the conversation and supporting the development of what we believe will be a powerful initiative for the men of Gladstone.

We were pleased to see a wide range of voices in the room — community members, service providers, and participants who will be involved in delivering the program. The feedback, ideas and lived experience shared will play an important role in making sure this program truly meets local needs.

We’re excited about what’s coming and look forward to bringing this to life at Bob’s Garage.

📣 Stay tuned — we’ll share a start date in the not-too-distant future.

Australia Day can mean different things to different people. For some it’s a day of celebration, for others it can be a quieter or more complicated time — and that’s okay.

At Bob’s Garage, we want to remind everyone that looking after your mental health matters just as much as your physical health. If today feels heavy, lonely, or overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it on your own.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is check in — on yourself, or on a mate, family member or colleague who might be doing it tough.

Connection doesn’t have to be big.

A message, a call, a coffee, a walk — it all counts.

If you need support, Bob’s Garage is here.
And if it’s urgent, please reach out to one of the 24/7 services available.

Take care of yourself today and take care of each other. 💙

✨ Happy New Year from Bob’s Garage ✨

As we step into 2026, we invite you to make this the year of connection.

Whether that connection is with us — through our soft-entry walking groups, circle programs, or professional support services — or simply by checking in on your mates, family, neighbours or colleagues, every connection matters.

Health isn’t just physical. Mental and emotional wellbeing are just as important, and taking care of yourself is not something to put off. In 2026, give yourself permission to make your health a priority and to reach out when you need support.

At Bob’s Garage, we believe in connection over correction — creating safe, welcoming spaces where men can talk, listen and support one another without judgement.

Let’s make 2026 a year where we show up for ourselves and each other.
Connection starts with one conversation.

From all of us at Bob’s Garage, we wish you a safe, healthy and connected New Year. 💙

🎄 Merry Christmas from Bob’s Garage 🎄

Today, more than any other day, connection matters.
Christmas can be a joyful time for many — but for others it can feel lonely, overwhelming, or difficult. If you’re needing support, someone to lean on, someone to talk to, or simply a sense of connection, please know that Bob’s Garage is here for you.

Today we are proud to support Anglicare Ray’s Soup Kitchen and Coffee & Conversations, who are both hosting Christmas lunches for people who may be feeling isolated or who don’t have family nearby to share the day with. These small acts of kindness make a big difference.

If there’s one thing to remember this festive season, it’s this: check in on your friends, family, colleagues — even someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Sometimes the smallest gesture means the most.

If you or someone you know needs support today, help is always available:
📞 Lifeline: 13 11 14
Crisis support and su***de prevention (text and webchat also available)
📞 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636
Support for anxiety, depression and su***de prevention
📞 Su***de Call Back Service: 1300 659 467
Phone and online counselling for people at risk of su***de
📞 1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732
Counselling and support for sexual assault, domestic and family violence

From all of us at Bob’s Garage, we wish you a gentle, safe and caring Christmas.
You are not alone — connection is always within reach. 💙
