What happens in Victoria’s Men’s Sheds goes well beyond woodwork and a cuppa.
The Victorian State Government is investing in Men’s Sheds to make sure they can grow and expand.
Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas has announced that a new round of funding is open. “A shed is more than just a space. For many men, it’s a place to connect, build community and access support.”
Grants of up to $100,000 will help Men’s Sheds buy new or update equipment, expand their sheds and upgrade their facilities or build a new shed to improve community access.
For many, their shed is more than a workshop – it’s where they find routine, friendship and community.
More than 360 Men’s Sheds now operate across Victoria, with Labor delivering more than 600 grants to sheds across the state.
This is in addition to the Victorian Government’s ongoing support for the Victorian Men’s Shed Association.
Keeping men connected and part of their community isn’t just good policy – it can save lives. Applications for the 2026-27 Men’s Shed Funding Program are now open at
