About Galmatic - Lets get to know each other better!
Welcome to our Garage
Galmatic is an all Australian company, with a strong passion for empowering women to take the driver’s seat when it comes to cars, driving and the road safety of their family and friends.
We think of ourselves as an old fashioned garage: where you know your customers and provide them with second to none service.
Through teaching we help to provide women with Independence Knowledge Fun Liberation & Empowerment.
Our crew all believe and embrace our company vision -
To be a movement for all Australian Women to engage with a car culture where, as a community, we work towards a zero road toll on Australian roads.
Think of us as a one stop destination for women looking for car care and driving courses and information in an open and non-threatening environment.
Our company is community focussed and supportive of flexible work hours which creates an enjoyable company culture for our staff.
We specialise in:
- Car Care Workshops for Women which are fun, interactive and informative
- Defensive Driving Courses for Women - skill building and engaging
- The Galmatic Car Care Handbook for Girls - every girl’s glove box essential
- Information: Blog articles and monthly e-Newsletter
- Creating Confident Women Behind The Wheel
We follow our dreams...
Our belief that women have the potential to do anything they put their minds to is what led us to work with, and support the work of the Layne Beachley Aim For The Stars Foundation.
As a company run by women, we are constantly juggling work commitments and the pleasure of caring for our families and the never-ending chores of running a household!
We wanted to not only show, but also to inspire other women to do the same and follow their dreams.
The Layne Beachley Aim for the Stars Foundation provides financial and moral assistance to girls and women across Australia to help them realise their dreams in sporting, academic, community or cultural pursuits.
In a nutshell it helps women of all ages to aim for the stars and pursue their dreams – and although we play only a small role – we are proud to be supporting the foundation and being a part of the journey of so many amazing women. Galmatic is proud to support The Layne Beachley Aim For The Stars Foundation.
We donate $5pp from every workshop and course that we run Australia wide.
"These girls are incredible!"

What I enjoy about being a Galmatic trainer: I love being a Galmatic trainer especially when participants and I have a good chat where questions like “I’ve heard some one say this, what does that mean?” and “What’s that thing?” come up.
My top car care tip: Regularly check your tyre pressures make sure they have the correct air pressure in them. It's so easy to do and you can save money on fuel and unnecessary wear and tear on your car.

What I enjoy about being a Galmatic trainer: I love giving women the security & independence that they can actually do this, in a language they get. That it’s not as hard as we think to maintain a vehicle, having them feel more self-sufficient & confident to have a go!
