The Shed Online is an online social community for men, founded by beyondblue, The Movember Foundation and the Australian Men’s Shed Association. Crisis Support Services is contracted to moderate member-generated content 24/7, including discussion forums and chat rooms.
The Shed Online is a place for men to socialise, network, make friends and share skills. It aims to recreate the atmosphere of “real life” Men's Sheds – a safe space where men can feel confident to discuss and exchange information. The Shed Online aims to foster a sense of community and build men’s social networks.
In addition to being a place for men to interact with other men, The Shed Online also provides men with information on health and well-being. Becoming a member of The Shed Online gives men a safe environment where they can find many of these things in the spirit of “old-fashioned mateship”.
