About our shed
About Us
The IDMS is situated in regional North QLD and provides a social environment for elderly people to gather and have a cup of coffee or tea to discuss different issues from their normal lives. The members can also use the Shed’s resources for small repairs.
The IDMS also provides help to the Innisfail and district area by repairing small items such as church pews, making signs for schools and colleges, repairing trailers, boats, cleaning community and caravan parks, and beaches; engaging disabled people by teaching them how to make bird houses and small tables.

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.
