The Men’s Shed is dedicated to engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men who have perpetrated or are victims of Family Violence. The Shed’s first and Foremost responsibility is to address the issues of Family violence, with a secondary being the wood working, arts & crafts, yarning etc. In saying this these cultural aspects play an integral part of the men’s journey to achieving physical, emotional, and spiritual Wellness.

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.
