About our shed
About Us
Since establishing the shed in 2016 and obtaining the grants to construct and deliver to the community a Men’s Shed that also meets community needs, we have now an operational shed, since the 15 December 2021. We have included in our shed the only Omnisign Plus CO2 Laser cutter engraver for which we sort a grant for and cost $18,000. This is an industrial machine that will service the shed and community cutting or engraving wood, plastics, fibre materials, steel to .25mm and 1mm stainless steel. We offer computer training, leatherwork, wood work and metal work. The shed has introduced in 2024 an SCM Minimax Lab300 P 5 in one wood working system. We have a well equipped kitchen for any activity. Mid 2024, part of our Welfare area is used by Caliber Support Pty Ltd as an office area twice a week for home and caring support to My Aged Care recipients covering four western regions.

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.
