About our shed
About Us
The Kinglake Ranges Men’s Shed was founded as a direct result of the Black Saturday Bushfires. The Shed became incorporated on 17 March 2009 with the first Committee being formed in April 2009. The Founding Committee Members were Graham Blakey, Matt Falla, Damon Groenveld, Peter O’Brien, Michael O’Meara, Janeden River and Cris Ruhr. Strong links were established with a number of organisations including Department of Human Services, Beyond Blue, Mensline and Andrology Australia.

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.
