Australian Men's Shed Association (AMSA) |
The Australian Men's Shed Association provides a safe friendly and welcoming place for men to work on meaningful projects and to contribute to the wider community.
The modern Men's Shed is an updated version of the shed in the backyard that has long been a part of Australian culture.
Not all Men's Sheds are the same - if you looked inside you might see a number of men making furniture perhaps restoring bicycles for a local school making Mynah bird traps fixing lawn mowers or making a cubby house for Camp Quality to raffle.
You might also see a few young men working with the older men obtaining new skills and learning something about life from the men with whom they work.
You might see local elders making traditional weapons or designing arts and crafts. You will see tea-bags coffee cups and a comfortable area where men can sit and talk. You will probably also see an area where men can learn to cook for themselves or how to contact their families by computer.
The Australian Men's Shed Association (AMSA) is the peak body supporting almost 1000 Men's Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia's largest male based community development organisations.
AMSA recognises as a Men's Shed any community-based non-profit non-commercial organisation that is accessible to all men and whose primary activity is the provision of a safe and friendly environment where men are able to work on meaningful projects.
The Shed Locator will provide you with the location address and contact details for all registered members of the Australian Men's Shed Association.
