About our shed
About Us
Our social group is a way for many men to get together with others socially. The group offers an environment with no direct pressure as it centres on self esteem, networking and group interaction. It’s a place of building skills, both personally and physically with no time constraints. ‘Men do not talk face to face, they talk shoulder to shoulder’.
Our Mission
Supporting men of all ages by:
- Providing a safe and meaningful environment for activities
- Training and mentoring
- Social activities and functions
- Assisting the wider community by our ability to manufacture of repair items that otherwise would be beyond their reach
- Being responsible and caring to the community at large
- Sincerity and compassion in improving men’s health and wellbeing
- Environmental awareness

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.
