About our shed
About Us
You may want to make something or fix something, get involved in projects, play games or just come and see who is around and what’s happening. If you have handy skills, you can share them with others or you can learn new skills. You can work on your own projects or you can help others work on community projects.
The Men’s Shed is a great place to meet new friends. This is particularly important for those who are otherwise isolated through unemployment or loss of a partner or friends.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
