The Menai Men’s Shed, is a ‘not for profit’ organisation. The aim of this shed is to provide the members with a safe working environment and to share common interests in working with timber and metal. In which the members develop practical skills, knowledge and adopt the ability to provide support.
Induction and training programs are undertaken by new members and regular ‘safety’ refresher training opportunities are also undertaken by all members who use the machinery.
The Menai Men’s Shed has developed strong ties with local Community groups and provides project planning, quotations and build specific projects. Members also work on their own projects or help charities by making toys, furniture and bird / possum nesting boxes.

Health & Safety Update
The Menai District Men’s Shed is open, and we appreciate everyone’s help in keeping our space safe, healthy, and welcoming for all.
Many of our members are over 65, and some may be immunocompromised or living with underlying health conditions. To ensure our Shed remains a safe environment where every member—regardless of their health status—can participate with confidence, the following guidelines apply:
Stay Home if Unwell: If you have a cough, sore throat, fever, or are feeling generally unwell, please stay home and rest. Protecting vulnerable members starts with keeping any illness out of the Shed. We look forward to seeing you back once you are fully recovered.
Vaccination: We strongly encourage all members to stay up-to-date with recommended vaccinations, including COVID-19 boosters and seasonal flu shots, as recommended by NSW Health. Keeping your vaccinations current helps protect both you and fellow members who may be at higher risk of severe illness.
Proof of Status: Formal proof of vaccination or medical exemption is no longer required for current members. New members however must show proof of 2 vaccinations for COVID
Respect Extra Precautions: Members who wish to take additional protective steps—such as wearing a mask in crowded indoor areas, maintaining physical distance, or hand-sanitising frequently—are fully supported in doing so. We ask everyone to be mindful of personal space and supportive of individual health choices.
Sign-In & Attendance: All members and visitors must login using facial recognition upon arrival and departure. This remains a requirement for insurance and safety purposes.
