Are there still places near the center in Sydney where you can get help to get electronics or clothes repaired? (Or get help to learn how to do it yourself?)

I find a bunch of events and places, but they all seemed to have disappeared or only organise paid workshops nowadays.

How do you run free services in a world where you need half a median income to just pay rent?

It's true, but that's exactly why you would need this no? Places where people can share skills and help each other, because you don't have money left to replace or buy new things.
