About our shed
About Us
Magnetic Island Men's Shed Inc. was started with an interest group in 2012 and was officially formed in 2013.
Currently, we are operating out of a community council building, but we only have a makeshift workshop. We are hoping to upgrade to better designed building in the near future.
Like all Men's Sheds, our primary focus is on men's health. We put a high value on companionship and mutual support among our members and believe very much in the benefits of laughter!

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.
