The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the peak body supporting almost 1000 Men’s Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.

Good health is based on many factors including feeling good about yourself, being productive, contributing to your community, connecting with friends, and maintaining an active body and mind. Becoming a member of a Men’s Shed provides a safe and busy environment where men can find many of these things in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mateship. And, importantly, there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all they are looking for.

Members of Men’s Sheds come from all walks of life – the bond that unites them is that they are men with time on their hands and would like something meaningful to do with that time. A good Men’s Shed has a Management Committee that has developed a safe and happy environment where men are welcome to work on community projects, specific Men’s Shed projects, or a project of their choice in their own time and where the only ‘must’ is to observe safe working practices…. all in a spirit of mateship. The Men’s Shed movement has now become one of the most powerful tools in addressing health and wellbeing and helping men to once again become valued and productive members of our community.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has been conserving native wildlife and nurturing the local indigenous heritage for over 70 years. This regional treasure has also been educating and entertaining families and tourists from all across the globe. But over the decades, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary has, more importantly, served as a haven to a myriad of native Australian animals — big, small, flourishing, and endangered.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is committed to the highest standards of animal welfare and husbandry for each animal in their care. They strive for positive welfare states in each animal by providing conditions for animals to thrive - not just physically, but also psychologically and socially.

In 2018 Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary saw over half a million visitors within the park and their Wildlife Hospital treated over 11,000 native Australian animals. With increasing pressure on the environment, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is committed to using their platform to support and promote local, state, national and international conservation initiatives. As conservation ambassadors and educators they recognise that they have a responsibility to ensure the highest welfare standards. As a reflection of their commitment, they will also ensure that animal welfare underpins all aspects of our strategic plans and daily operations.
