Victoria’s major University and TAFE Open Days are typically held in August, serving as a vital step before VTAC applications open.
With campuses starting to open their doors, you can now explore course options, meet lecturers, and view facilities in person before locking in your preferences.
You can check registration updates and download campus maps directly via the VTAC Open Days Guide.
Do you have broken items lying around at home? Don’t toss them – bring them along to the Mernda Repair Café and give them a second life!
This is a FREE community service, helping reduce waste and bring neighbours together through skill-sharing and sustainable practices. Come along, learn a new skill, and help create a more sustainable Mernda. Everyone is welcome!
- When: Saturday, 17 October 2026
- Where: 2 Heals Road, Mernda
- Time: 10:00am – 2:00pm
Our skilled volunteers, aka the Repair Doctors, will be on hand to help with:
- shoe repairs
- bike and scooter tune-ups
- small electrical fixes
- clothing mending and darning
- fashion jewellery repairs
- power tool fixes.
NEW: Chainsaw sharpening! Please book under Power Tools. Blunt chainsaws are a hazard! Our new repairer Alby can help you with that!
Note: minimum three items of clothing per booking. If you need a zip replaced please attempt to unstitch it. It will save our repairers a lot of time. Thank you!
Note: If you know your item needs spare parts, please bring them with you such as bike parts, or zips for clothes, plugs for electrical items.
