About our shed
About Us
When men retire, or go through some other major upheaval in their lives, they often feel alone. They need someone to be with, to talk to. Someone who understands what they are thinking and feeling. That person may be another man. Without mates, life for a man can quickly be-come mundane at least, purposeless at worst. Where Are We? The Croydon Mens Shed operates in Building CN5 in the Swinburne University of Technology campus, 12-50 Norton Road, Croydon, Victoria, Australia. It provides a meeting place for men who live in and around the Croydon area.

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.
