11th AMSA National Men's Shed Gathering

We've set our sights on sunny Brisbane for the 11th AMSA National Men's Shed Gathering.

The AMSA National Men’s Shed Gathering is AMSA's premier event. Hosted every two years, the event brings together the national Men’s Shed community and stakeholders for learning, development and networking.

Our goals each year are simple, to continue connecting Men’s & Community Sheds, shed members and relevant stakeholders with important knowledge, networks and information to bolster the strength and sustainability of the Men’s Shed movement.

We are excited to be joined by the Queensland Men’s Shed Association as co-host and our major partner Fair Dinkum Builds, to welcome shedders to sunny Brisbane from 24 March to Thursday 26 March 2026 for the 11th AMSA National Men's Shed Gathering.

Our theme is centred on the philosophy of “Building Healthy Communities” - recognising the practical, social and wellbeing benefits Men’s & Community Sheds bring to men, their families and the wider community. Based at Royal on the Park Hotel & Suites, our program content will cover three key streams: Shed Development, Health & Wellbeing and Community.

The social program will see the return of our highly-regarded ‘Shed Tours’ on Day 1, which will end with a Welcome Reception and Trade Exhibition in the evening. Day 2 will start with a Shedder’s BBQ Breakfast followed by conferencing. Day 3 will include a second day of conferencing during the day, with the event concluding in our signature Shedder’s Dinner and National Men’s Shed Awards in the evening.
