Dealing with Disruptive Behaviour
The VMSA has been fielding several inquiries from Men’s Sheds grappling with the complexities of disruptive member behaviour, with some sheds, unfortunately, witnessing a loss of members due to these challenges.
In the most severe instances, sheds have found it necessary to implement disciplinary measures to address the situation effectively.
Sheds facing this challenge may find helpful guidance on Justice Connect’s website. There, they can access valuable advice on employing mediation to navigate and resolve conflicts effectively. This resource serves as a resource for clarity and guidance for shed groups striving to address disputes constructively.

Another great resource is the comprehensive guide provided by Consumer Affairs Victoria.
This guide outlines various strategies and procedures for managing disruptive behaviour, with detailed insights available on page 7 under the section titled “Disciplinary Action.”
