Grant programs open for Tasmanian Men’s Sheds

The Tasmanian Government has opened two grants programs to support Men’s Sheds to continue to provide health and wellbeing outcomes.

Minister for Community and Multicultural Affairs, Madeleine Ogilvie, said the grant programs will enable these much-loved community Sheds to operate well into the future.

“Men’s Sheds are greatly valued throughout Tasmanian communities as a place to connect and share,” Minister Ogilvie said.

“I am pleased to announce the Tasmanian Government’s ongoing commitment to Sheds across the state through these grant programs.

"Our Government is delivering for Tasmanians by backing our Men's Sheds to support our communities."

The Tasmanian Men’s Shed Association Grants Program 2025-26 will fund training, health and wellbeing initiatives, tools, equipment and machinery for up to $15,000 per shed.

The Tasmanian Capital Investment Grants Program 2025-26 will fund sheds to upgrade, renovate, construct, outright purchase or permanently improve the physical sheds that house Men’s Sheds across Tasmania with a funding pool of $476,000.

Applications for both grant programs close 19 February 2026.
