About our shed
About Us
Men’s Sheds are a modern version of the shed in the backyard that has long been a part of the Australian culture. Traditionally, this is where men retreat to when they need time to themselves so they can think and / or create.
Each Men Shed provides opportunity for men to contribute to each other and to their communities through learning, sharing skills, making friends and participating in Men Shed projects.
Many men may not have the resources or skills to set up their own shed. Your local Men Shed can provide an opportunity to use a variety of equipment, learn new skills and expand your network of friends.

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.
