Rebecca Talbot
Rebecca has been working with Men’s Sheds for nearly 4 years as the Regional Health Coordinator for WA. She is a qualified Occupational Therapist whose career has spanned both regional Western Australia, and Emergency wards in both London and Perth.
Rebecca oversees health and wellbeing initiatives across almost 200 WA Men’s Sheds, ensuring thousands of men, many of whom are retired and at risk of isolation, have access to vital support, information, and resources. Drawing on her professional experience, Rebecca brings a deep understanding of the physical, mental, and social needs of men, and recognises the best conversations are often had over a shared meaningful activity. Motivated by her Grandad and her memories of his woodworking group, Rebecca believes all blokes need a place to get together with other blokes. Using her expertise to shape programs that are impactful for men at every stage of life, Rebecca loves being ‘Red From The Shed’.
