Welcome to I'm Still Learning!
I'm Still Learning Inc. is a Melbourne-based not-for-profit set up to provide everyday people an opportunity to learn how to confidently tackle their own basic home and car maintenance tasks.
We strive to deliver practical, hands-on courses that empower independence, build confidence and foster a sense of community.
Our Beginning
I’m Still Learning was founded in 2017 by Mandy Gosetti after facing the loss of her husband to cancer.
It was only after his passing that Mandy realised both how much her husband had cared for their home, and how little she knew about maintaining it herself. Every time a tap dripped, Mandy found herself feeling like she'd lost her husband all over again.
Over time, Mandy learned how to manage her own home maintenance. This helped make her husband's absence a little less painful and built her confidence and self-reliance. Knowing there would be others facing similar struggles, Mandy was inspired to start I'm Still Leaning.
Mandy's goal was to empower and connect people through I'm Still Learning's programs. Now, our workshops provide avenues to develop essential life skills and foster independence, while our alumni community offers opportunities to form lasting, supportive friendships with like-minded learners.
Today, I'm Still Learning offers courses throughout Melbourne that aim to empower people with the knowledge and confidence needed to look after their own home and car maintenance.
With a course satisfaction rate consistently above 90%, we're immensely proud of the profound impact we've made so far—and we're excited to continue making a difference for years to come.

Vice Chairman
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to live independently, to have that sense of control, feeling of achievement, and self-worth. Little wonder I jumped on board when I heard that I’m Still Learning is about empowering people through providing practical skills courses for those seeking to gain confidence to independently complete maintenance jobs around the home.
Being a board member not only allows me to be involved in the direction of I’m Still Learning, but helps me fulfil my true passion; contributing to the operations of the organisation. To I’m Still Learning I bring my experiences as a C-Level Manager and previous Small Business Owner, and my studies in Business Strategy, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship.

Mandy Gosetti
Founder, Board Member and Passionate Advocate
I am the Founder, very passionate advocate and the Board Secretary of I’m Still Learning. The idea for I’m Still Learning started for me in 2014 when my husband died and it became a need.
There is a lot of determination, self-sacrifice and diligence in making sure that our goals and objectives are met through our courses. I successfully completed high school and then went straight into the work force doing small courses along the way.
My work role has mainly been in a Human Resources / People environment but the expertise that I bring to the table is the primary reason for starting I’m Still Learning.
It’s my past experiences, it’s being an average everyday run of the mill person who knew what I needed to know after my loss. It’s being a person who generally relates well with people.
Anna De Amicis

As a Board member since February 2023 and Local Area Coordinator since October 2022, I have excellent opportunities to help program attendees learn and flourish and the organisation to grow and succeed.
I enjoy devoting my efforts towards supporting I’m Still Learning as it helps Individuals benefit from gaining new knowledge and skills in the areas of basic home maintenance, basic car maintenance and basic cooking in addition to improving social wellbeing through connecting with others. An added value to program participants is being part of the I’m Still Learning alumni which further extends knowledge and social connectedness.
