countdown days to go

Welcome

On behalf of our Organising Committee, I look forward to welcoming you to the Australian Men's Shed Association 6th National Conference, being held at Grand Venues of Newcastle - (Newcastle City Hall & Civic Theatre), New South Wales.

The Conference aims to promote the spread of Sheds throughout the nation and showcase the Australian Men's Shed movement across the world.

This years theme “Innovation” will examine what sheds do on a day to day basis and focus on their future growth and development, whilst at the same time tackling the bigger picture issues such as the prevention of social isolation and engaging men within the community.

Men's Sheds have as their primary objective, to advance the health and wellbeing of male members and provide safe, friendly environment where men feel they belong and are able to work on meaningful projects in the company of other men.

Delegates will come from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, including "shedders", shed coordinators, health and aged care professionals, educators and policy makers.

I look forward to welcoming you in Newcastle.
