About Us
The Hawker Men’s Shed commenced operations in October 2019. It is a Shed in auspice with Softball ACT who allow us use of their air conditioned club house for meetings and gatherings plus their outdoor facilities. We have a site shed for administration purposes and small number meetings and social activities. Our workshop is now operational.
Shipping containers house our tools, machinery and work benches. We also run a repair cafe a few times throughout the year. Hawker Men’s Shed will have stalls for second hand tools and household goods as well as possum boxes and bird boxes. Orders can be taken for possum and bird boxes via email.

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.
