About Us
A Community Shed In The Heart Of The City
Melbourne Men’s Shed at Federation Square is an updated version of the shed in the backyard that has long been a part of Australian culture.
Melbourne Men’s Shed came into being from a community desire to have a space for men living in or close to Melbourne to meet. The shed provides a range of activities for both working and retired men; including woodwork, a walking group and cooking classes as well as other social activities. There are also opportunities to become involved in volunteer work.
Melbourne Men’s Shed is an inclusive space with suitable for the retired apartment dweller, CBD workers, female members, artists, students and guests.
A Safe Place In Which Members Can:

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.
