About our shed

About Us

A welcoming, active community shed based in Rowville. Our Shed was constructed during 2020 and we took occupancy of it in January 2021.

We meet 3 days a week, Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday from 10am till about 3pm. After potential members have attended about 3 sessions they are invited to apply for membership. This is $100 per year plus a once off $25 joining fee. We normally start each day at ‘The Shed’ with a cuppa and a chat to decide what we are doing for the day. Most days we sit down for a two course lunch for those that want to, chipping in $5 each to cover cost

Shed Activities

Grounds Maintenance (Providing services as required to maintain approximately 12 acres of grassed areas surrounding the local sports ovals), vegetable garden, ad-hoc community projects for schools and residents, woodwork and metal work.

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.
