About TOMNET

TOMNET is a community based, not-for-profit organisation that supports and promotes the well-being of men over the age of 50 years.



Opportunity to connect with other men

We hold weekly gatherings, events, interest groups and barbecue services to help men 50+ connect.

Mates you can count on

Connect with men who are genuine, who share the good times, and support each other through life’s challenges.



Navigate Ageing Well

As aging throws up many challenges, we help men connect to local support services and resources to help navigate ageing. This includes issues such as transport, aged care, health services, elder abuse, among others.



Need Support?

Support is available when you are feeling stressed, anxious, angry or want to talk to someone about what you are going through. You don’t need to do it alone.

Volunteer, and make a difference

Volunteering is a great way to find a meaningful life in retirement. Join our Volunteering teams who support older men and disadvantaged youth in our communities. Volunteers regularly contact Members who are doing it tough, are isolated, less mobile, and lonely.

What our Members say…

I get to see my mates each week and have a chat about how we are going, this keeps me on the right path and I wouldn’t be without it.

Neil (Member)

TOMNET saved me. I was lost after retiring and had no idea what to do or what I wanted out of my life. It really did give me options.

Paul (Member)

I enjoy visiting guys in Aged Care, the stories they tell are so great.

Are you prepared?

While some men do retirement well, many are unprepared for the changes retirement brings. We encourage men to talk about their retirement experiences, the ups and downs, the good times and the bad times.

Find meaning and purpose…

Learning the skills to manage the challenges of retirement helps us to navigate this transition positively. We help men explore what they enjoy and encourage them to find meaning and purpose in retirement.

We do things differently…

We do things differently, our program helps you become an active and vibrant member of the community. We support you to find activities, both social and volunteering, that suit your lifestyle and health situation.

The conversation could change your life.
What are you waiting for?
