It is time to take your health seriously.

The Monash Mens Shed has a number of strong relationships with health talk providers whom we invite to our shed to assist with awareness of common health issues in the community. We do this by each month holding a health event for our members and opening it to members of the Monash area. Each event is about a different, equally important aspect of living a long and healthy life. Guest speakers who are professionals in their specific fields provide talks on how aspects of health can be improved. The shed members who attend these events have benefitted considerably from these talks and have made use of the information given to improve the wellbeing of themselves and their families.

The events also are a social occasion as shedders are invited to bring along their friends and family. Before each event there is an affordable tasty lunch available for $2 provided by our talented cooking team. 

This service that the Monash Mens Shed provides not only attracts a lot of attention to the shed but also often inspires new members to join. So, if you aren’t coming to these already, you’re missing out!
