Men’s Sheds in Yass Valley

The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the peak body supporting almost 1,000 Men’s Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.

AMSA was established in 2007 by the 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.

The Men’s Shed movement aims to promote men’s health programs, encourage social inclusion, and highlight the need for meaningful activities to be available for males within their communities.
