Men’s Sheds are an important part of our communities, bringing people together and improving the mental and physical health of members. They provide places for men to meet, make social connections and actively participate in their local communities.
Not all Men’s Sheds are the same, but they all have some things in common – they are a place to chat, meet new people, put skills to use and support each other.
There are over a thousand Men’s Sheds across Australia, and more than 325 in Victoria. To find a Men’s Shed near you visit Find a shed in your .
