Men’s sheds play an important role in our state’s local communities. They help to connect community members, reduce social isolation and promote positive health outcomes for men.
The Victorian Government is continuing its $1 million annual investment in men’s sheds throughout the state.
Through the 2026-27 Men’s Shed Funding Program, local organisations can apply for a grant up to $100,000.
Grants be used for:
- the construction of new men’s sheds, including the conversion of a building into a men’s shed
- the refurbishment, extension or upgrade of existing men’s sheds
- the purchase of major shed equipment for use in men’s sheds.
Grant applications should explain how the project will help the shed to be accessible and inclusive.
Applications are now open and close 4 June 2026.
