About our shed
About Us
Magnetic Island Men's Shed Inc was commenced by an interest group in 2012and was incorporated in 2013. It has recently achieved Charitable status.
It originally operated out a Community Council Building in Horseshoe Bay, but it only had a makeshift workshop. It has recently moved to Picnic Bay, where it has established a proper larger sized fully equipped workshop, kitchen and member's social room and library. We now have monthly breakfasts with guest speakers; afternoon get togethers, and functions, and heip out the local community with BBQs and other social occasions. We overlook the picturesque Magnetic Island Golf Course.
Like all other Men's Sheds, our principal focus is on men's health and well being. We put a high value on companionship and mutual support amongst our members, and believe very much in the benefits of laughter.
What more can you expect on tropical balmy Magnetic Island? Where all are welcome to share our laid-back lifestyle, while being part of something great.

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.
