About Us
Vision
To maintain a meeting place where members can enjoy the company of others and provide opportunities for hands on projects to benefit members and the community.
Mission
To develop a culture where members share skills and foster friendships in a supportive environment.
To promote personal well-being and men’s health.
To establish activities to ensure the shed’s sustainability.
Participation and Membership
The Warrnambool Men’s Shed will encourage participation by all persons, once accepted by the Committee of Management, to accept and continue to uphold the stated rules including the Vision and Mission of the shed. Although membership is primarily targeted toward the older men in the community, the participation of younger men and women in Shed activities is also welcome.
What is the men’s shed?
The shed is designed to provide men and women with a place to work on projects. Evidence suggests that health and well being are greatly improved when engaging in activities at the men’s shed.

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.
