PARTNERS
Bob’s Garage would not be possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors, partners, and donors. From local businesses to community organisations and individuals, each contribution has helped bring this vision to life.
Together, we’ve built more than a facility — we’ve created a safe space for men to connect, seek support, and strengthen their wellbeing. The impact of this support will be felt across Gladstone for years to come, proving what can be achieved when a community comes together.
[ Funding &
Operational Partners ]
Bob’s Garage is proudly made possible through the vision and generosity of McCosker Contracting. From the very beginning, McCosker has been at the heart of this project — funding the purchase of the facility and its extensive renovations, while also providing the strategic leadership needed to bring the concept to life. Their commitment goes beyond bricks and mortar. McCosker continues to invest in the ongoing operations of Bob’s Garage, offering strategic guidance, administrative, financial support, and resources to ensure the facility thrives well into the future. This long-term partnership reflects McCosker’s deep commitment to the wellbeing of men in our industry and community, and to building a healthier, stronger Gladstone.
Men and Co. Services are proud to serve as the operating partner of Bob’s Garage. Their expertise has been instrumental in turning the vision of this facility into reality — providing the professional governance, policies, and evidence-based programs that ensure Bob’s Garage is more than just a space, but a trusted service for our community. With a focus on strong leadership and quality practices, Men and Co. Services guide the facility with integrity and care, ensuring every initiative is grounded in best practice and designed to make a lasting difference in men’s health and wellbeing.

Through collaboration with our community partners, Bob’s Garage connects men to an even wider support network:
Through our partnership with The Salvation Army, Bob’s Garage offers access to Moneycare, a free and confidential service providing financial counselling and case work support. Moneycare helps individuals manage debt, create sustainable budgets, and navigate financial challenges with dignity and confidence. By supporting men to take control of their financial wellbeing, this service plays a vital role in reducing stress and building stronger, healthier lives.
Bob’s Garage is proud to host Work Ready, in collaboration with CapRescue. This program offers professional, accredited workplace testing services, including drug & alcohol screening, fit testing for respirators and hearing protection, and custom earplug impressions. Businesses stay compliant, and by booking through Work Ready, you’re also directly supporting life-saving rescue services in Central Queensland. Work Ready brings safety, confidence, and opportunity — helping men gain access to meaningful work through trusted, quality assured assessments and skills.
Bob’s Garage is proud to partner with the Australian Community Support Organisation (ACSO), a leading provider of services for people with complex needs. ACSO delivers residential & outreach support, mental health services, alcohol & other drugs programs, forensic case work, and more — all grounded in compassion, lived experience, and evidence-based best practice. Their involvement ensures that individuals who may be facing multiple challenges get access to wrap-around support, helping restore dignity, build wellbeing, and reduce barriers to a positive life.
Bob’s Garage is proud to partner with Gladstone Mindcare, a local organisation dedicated to promoting mental health, resilience, and connection across our region. Through education, resources, and access to support services for mental health, alcohol & other drug concerns, Gladstone Mindcare plays a vital role in helping our community become stronger, more informed, and free from stigma. Together, we work to ensure that anyone who needs help has pathways to support, and that wellbeing is not just a service, but a shared commitment in Gladstone.
