The Women's Shed - Clare
You may have heard of the Men Shed movement but what about the Women's shed.
Two 4th year occupational therapy students from Uni SA are working on implementing a Women’s shed in Clare.
Over the last couple of months, they’ve been seeking community interest to see if there is a need for a space for women to learn certain skills of choice.
So far the response has been overwhelming with many people saying they want a space to learn practical skills like home maintenance, fixing a tyre, changing the oil; those skills that are stereotypically left for men.
You'll hear from Phuong Nguyen and Georgia Zeitz about the project and how you can get involved.
There have been many former OT students that have done their placements in Clare that have started successful projects such as the Lions Furniture Shed and the Bikes and Brekkie Initiative, hopefully the women’s shed will be added to this list of successful initiatives.

Mid North Community Passenger Network:
Are you travelling to the city often for medical appointments and the whole experience stresses you out? The traffic, the parking?
Did you know there is a transport service in Clare that will drive you down to Adelaide or to other mid north centres for your appointments at a very affordable rate.
It’s called the Mid North Community Passenger Network. It's not new, it’s been around for 20 years. It’s a very professional outfit, with 54 volunteer drivers and 8 vehicles helping over 1000 clients across numerous Mid North council districts.
The Network’s coordinator Damien Graham has been at the helm for 15 years and runs a very tight ship. Though the network is for all people needing transport to medical appointments, it can also be used for social inclusion purposes, such as weddings, funerals christenings and other social engagements
You'll also hear from passenger Margaret Boud and volunteer driver Patricia Edwards.
