It heralds a new era in our operation.\n\nWe have been around since 2001 and have a history that goes back to the mid Nineties.\nMostly our focus has been on engaging with men as participants in our wide range of programs both here in Western Australia and in Bali.\n\nCovid all but put a stop to that, and it enabled us to review our offerings and retain and operate more efficiently in a new climate of Menswork. \n\nSince our inception much has been accomplished. Our mission, \u2018to raise awareness about issues related to men and boys\u2019 has been taken up by a raft of organisations now offering a wide range of regular service to men in Western Australia. The Menswork Project will be looking to enhance and support these welcome initiatives and become a clearing house blog for \u2018What\u2019s on for men in WA\u2019 More about elsewhere on the site.\n\nOur two Iconic offerings will be retained. The regular bimonthly Men\u2019s Breakfasts. A much loved \u2018institution\u2019, and The Elders Way in Bali. This very special retreat program has been upgraded and is now operating under the auspices Man Unplugged in NSW.\nYou can find out more about these in our 'Programs' section.\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76b52626 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"76b52626\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30e5297 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"30e5297\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Programs<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccbb979 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ccbb979\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">These are the life-altering programs we currently offer.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e04296 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8e04296\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Elder's Way<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65ef9cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65ef9cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The next Elder's Way is from the 8th to the 15th November 2024.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a9afb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1a9afb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/mensworkproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC_0505-320x213-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-227\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mensworkproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC_0505-320x213-1.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mensworkproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/DSC_0505-320x213-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac90ee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac90ee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"white-space-collapse: preserve;\">Part of the Men in Bali suite of programs instigated in 2005 The Elders Way is an exceptional opportunity for older men to appreciate and celebrate the significance of later life and being an Elder.

They have been operating ever since.\u00a0 There are now regular Gathering in every state, and they act as a springboard to the wide range of other offering now available in Australia.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is from these beginnings that Wes Carter and Peter Efford expanded the concept by offering regular men\u2019s workshops and events.
