Melbourne Men’s Shed Two Unique Locations
The Melbourne Men’s Shed operates from two unique locations within Melbourne’s CBD: Federation Square and the Atira Apartments at the top of the Elizabeth St roundabout (known as the Peter Mac Shed).
At Federation Square, the Melbourne Men’s Shed offers a variety of activities for both working and retired men, including woodwork, walking groups, cooking classes, and other social activities.
The Peter Mac Shed, located within the hospital precinct, is the first Men’s Shed in Victoria to be situated within a hospital. It provides a space for men, their families, and friends to meet, gather, and learn, especially for those undergoing treatment or caring for someone with an illness or disease. Membership has been extended to include patients and carers from other major hospitals in the Parkville precinct.
