About our shed

About Us

Some of us make things out of wood or metal. Some members just help when called and some just arrive at 10.00am when we all sit down around the table for a chat and a laugh over tea and biscuits.

Members are welcome to work on their own project or to help with one of our many group projects.

We are able to train members with new skills and the use of specialised machines such as welders, planers, power saws and thicknessers.

We have a large workshop with all types of tools and machines where we repair furniture, or make special projects like garden beds, shelving and cupboards. We can weld broken equipment.

We try to use recycled materials wherever possible.

Shed Activities

Furniture restoration, working bees, metal work and a good yack around the table.

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.
