“We’re pleased to be able to make this announcement on Father’s Day. This will allow the Men’s Sheds grant rounds to continue to run for the next 3 years. These allow local men’s sheds to maintain their shed, buy new tools or start new projects. It’s a win for the sheds, the men who use them and the communities that benefit from them. Men’s Sheds reduce social isolation, particularly for older men and people living in rural and remote areas. This funding reflects our commitment to promoting and supporting men’s health.
The grants are run for local mens’ sheds to enjoy companionship, purpose and facilities. Applications for grants are assessed by the Australian Men’s Shed Association, in accordance with guidelines agreed by the Department of Health. Each shed can apply for up to $8,000 per year.
Proudly Australian owned and operated
