Our Story

Our Story: Built by Men, 4Men.

4Men was made to support blokes just like us. We saw a gap in the gears - so we shifted the support systems men need to thrive. We share stories and build communities for men over 55 looking to break out of the retirement rut and meet like-minded mates.

We're based in Western Australia, with activities spanning across Perth, Fremantle, and beyond. Keep an eye on our calendar for event-specific locations!

Why We Do What We Do

our daring mission

We're here to give blokes something to look forward to. Our mission is to provide inspiring, curious, and adventurous activities that foster mateship and combat loneliness, all on your terms. We believe an occasional scraped knee from a spirited adventure is far better than the silent isolation that quietly erodes well-being. We're daring, we're humorous, and we're always up for a challenge.

About our Founder: Andries Pretorius

Meet the Visionary

I’m Andries, and after over a decade in aged care, mental health, and disability services, I saw a clear truth: something wasn't quite right for older men.

While funding exists, many men over 55 simply aren't utilising their available support or what’s available isn’t what really suits their needs.

They're looking for something more than just 'care' – they're looking for life.

My vision for 4 Men Pty Ltd was born from this exact insight: to create a hospitality business that puts excitement and genuine connection first.

We are proudly partnered with the following organisations

Who we are

Veteran-Led

As a military veteran myself, married to an Australian Defence Force veteran, I understand the unique bonds and shared experiences of service. We're proud to create a space where veterans from Australia and international communities can connect and thrive.

Community-Driven

Your input drives our programs. We're not just offering a menu of activities; we want to hear what ignites your curiosity. Think of us as a collaborative crew, always open to new suggestions and daring ideas.

Flexible & Fearless

We operate on a simple fee-for-service model, giving us the flexibility to offer diverse and engaging experiences that traditional 'aged care' might shy away from. Our focus is on meaningful connection and authentic living for older men in WA.
