About our shed
About Us
Defence Shed Wagga Wagga (DSWW) is part of the Australian Defence and Emergency Services Shed Association and has been operating since mid-2019.
DSWW is a Not-For-Profit Charity dedicated to providing support and services to current and former Australian Defence Force and Emergency Services personnel and their families, and part of the growing Defence and Emergency Services Sheds community – based on the highly successful Men’s Shed model, but we are open to men, women, families, friends and supporters of ADF and Emergency Services personnel.
Providing crucial support services, networking, education, pathway employment and advocacy to improve the health and wellbeing for our members and their families drives everything we do.

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.
