About our shed
About Us
In every Men’s Shed, the most popular activity is morning tea. Contrary to popular opinion, men do communicate well, both shoulder to shoulder and face to face. The Shed environment is welcoming and accepts all men. No skills are needed, and for those who wish to participate in practical activities, there will always be plenty of help and encouragement to get started. Men are always keen to share both knowledge and skills.
In Mount Gambier we lease a large shed from the Mount Gambier City Council.
We welcome enquiries from men, their families or friends. We endeavour to provide a warm, non-threatening and safe environment.

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.
