About our shed
About Us
The Upper Ross Men’s Shed Inc is open from 8am to 12noon Monday through to Thursday except on public holidays. We have a well-equipped woodwork and metal shop where members can undertake projects at their own pace and in their own time. We also assist and benefit local community groups and organisations and encourage members to participate in community projects. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive and friendly environment for all members and to mentor disadvantaged members. An annual membership fee of $50.00 applies and members pay a weekly attendance fee of $5.00 which covers morning teas and shed consumables.

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.
