About Us

Mens Shed Junction Village is housed within the tranquil grounds of the Aveco Botanic Gardens Retirement Village 41 Craig Road Junction Village.

Our new Shed is a well equipped  with new equipment and amenities.

There is ample parking in the main carpark of the Village, approx 20 metres from the Shed.

Our shed is committed to Occupational Health and Safety.

Our key focus is to promote and support the health and wellbeing of men.

Our Shed is a place for men to come together, a place of creativity, teamwork and for celebrating community spirit.

Our Shed is more than just a Shed we meet new friends, relate our experiences mostly with a laugh, sometimes with compassion for someone going through a hard time.

Or maybe you just want to come along for a cuppa and a chat. You are all welcome.

Our  members who include men from the local community produce wooden toys for the underpriverleged children within the local community and looking for new members.

There is an open invitation for all men to come and share our cameraderie.

Positive impacts

Camaraderie

"I've found a great group of mates"

Mateship is an important pillar of every Men’s Shed – first and foremost the shed is a place for men to knock about with a group of like-minded mates.

Community

“I give back to the community”

Men’s Sheds are vital community investments delivering programmes and activities that foster community spirit and contribute to building a more inclusive Australia.

Health & Wellbeing

“My health and wellbeing is better because I'm a Shedder”

Many shedders experience improved mental health outcomes. Men (and women) involved at their local Shed report increased self-esteem through participation and learning new skills; de-stigmatisation of experiencing mental health and de-stigmatisation of prevalent social issues related to mental health.

Watch — More than just a shed

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.
