About our shed
About Us
The Joondalup Men’s Shed (JMS) is the local representative and a registered member of the Men’s Sheds of W.A.
The JMS Patron is Mr. Ian Goodenough, MBA, BComm and Federal Member for Moore.
Our motto is short way of saying what JMS is all about: “Blokes Building Better Communities!”
We are all about fostering better overall health and well-being for all men. This has an obvious beneficial ripple effect for our members’ families and the wider community.
The JMS current facility is now in Joondalup. 17 Winton Road is a City of Joondalup property on which we pay all outgoing expenses. We are currently upgrading all obsolete equipment financed mostly buy fundraising at BBQs, Markets and shed projects. Grants have assisted in our move from the Padbury shed and allowed us to provide infrastructure.
As a registered health promotion charity the JMS not only focuses on the fostering better overall health and well-being for all men, it also benefits the wider community in countless ways and assists many different community groups.
It is vital that this work to continues but we need your help.

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.
