Men’s sheds offer a supportive environment where people can explore creative hobbies, learn new skills and build lasting friendships.
They are a space to work on personal projects, share expertise and give back to the community.
About men’s sheds
Victoria is home to a thriving network of sheds, with over 360 across the state.
Each shed is different and may offer different resources, activities and opportunities. Find your local to learn more.
Across the network, you’ll find communities that:
- put their skills to use for the benefit of the community
- share their knowledge with young people to develop life skills
- host health information sessions
- assist refugees to integrate into their new community.
