About Us

Our Shed's purpose is to reduce social isolation and provide support and companionship for men of all ages in our catchment. The support of wives, partners and others in our community is much appreciated, both directly and through social media and its associated group.
New members are always welcome. Call in for a cuppa and chat any Monday or Wednesday. All levels of skill catered for, and we are always ready to share and train new recruits.

Shed Activities

Our Shed deals with many facets of various crafts. We cater to woodworking, metalworking, leadlighting, and turning (wood and metal), both traditional handwork and machine assisted.
A well equipped workshop and experienced members all support creative work from novice to experienced levels.

Positive impacts

Camaraderie

"I've found a great group of mates"

Mateship is an important pillar of every Men’s Shed – first and foremost the shed is a place for men to knock about with a group of like-minded mates.

Community

“I give back to the community”

Men’s Sheds are vital community investments delivering programmes and activities that foster community spirit and contribute to building a more inclusive Australia.

Health & Wellbeing

“My health and wellbeing is better because I'm a Shedder”

Many shedders experience improved mental health outcomes. Men (and women) involved at their local Shed report increased self-esteem through participation and learning new skills; de-stigmatisation of experiencing mental health and de-stigmatisation of prevalent social issues related to mental health.

Watch — More than just a shed

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.
