The membership of our shed is diverse, men from all backgrounds, ethnic and social mixes enjoy coming to the shed, bringing their own cultural characteristics and life’s experiences to enliven the activities. The common theme in Men’s Sheds is about men feeling useful and contributing to their community, through learning and sharing new skills and experiences, reviving old ones, making friends networking and generally becoming involved in life. The shed is a place where men, can contribute, feel wanted, obtain informal learning and get information about health.

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.
