About our shed
About Us
The Fraser Rise Men’s Shed is a place where men share hobbies and interests with other men in the community for the dominant purpose of advancing mental health and preventing or relieving social isolation.
The Shed offers a comfortable space where men can regularly meet up and connect over a cup of tea or coffee. The Shed hosts gatherings during the day and evening where men can enjoy a warm meal and catch up with other attendees.
These social activities and hobbies are provided in a relaxed space where men can feel at ease talking about their emotions and feelings. The goal of these activities is to relieve social isolation, increase productivity and activity levels, and help men feel good about themselves.
Once a month, the Shed intends to have a registered psychologist come visit the shed to talk about strategies to manage one’s mental health and wellbeing, and to assist men with reconnecting with their family and 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.
