Manningham Men’s Shed

Our men’s shed gives all men the opportunity to socialise, get involved in making or ‘fixing things’, and learn or pass on skills

The Men’s Shed is a place where:

• Older, skilled men can pass on their skills and knowledge to younger men
• Men of all ages can pursue their interest in woodwork, handcrafts, electronics, mechanics and more
• Men with disabilities can learn new skills
• Resources can be produced for the benefit of the community
• Blokes meet for a chat and have a cuppa!

Learn new skills in a supportive environment

Our friendly staff and volunteers work with each individual to ensure they are engaged in activities that match their strengths and interests.  Activities and projects are always changing but may include:

• Woodworking projects
• Mechanical projects
• Painting
• Access to computers and tablets (wi-fi available)
• Socialising – BBQ’s, cuppas, footy tipping, crosswords, newspapers
• Bus outings to places of interest as planned by the group
• Fund raising projects
• Some of the woodworking items produced by our clients.

Fees and Payments

We offer services for all members of the community. Some of our services prioritise access to people and families with greater health, economic and social needs. We set the costs of our services based on income ranges. These income ranges are based on the Centrelink Income Test for pensioners. See our current income tables.

If you are registered with NDIS or have a level 3 to 4 aged care package, costs of attending the Men’s Shed should be covered by your NDIS Plan or aged care package.

If you want to talk to someone about fees, please call 9840 1681. We are here to help find the best solution for you.
