About Us

The Port Augusta the Men’s Shed offers retired men over 65 years of age and veterans a place to go where they can enjoy physical and social activities. The Men’s Shed is a self-sufficient community project which relies upon the production and sale of items by participants and kind donations and support from the local community.

The guys start their day with a coffee at 9am till 9.30 then it’s out in the workshop working on their project. Lunch time is 12pm till 12.30 quiet time in the shed 😊

Back to their projects after lunch till 1.30pm some go home while others clean up and leave by 2pm

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.
