The purpose of Mensheds Australia is to create a fresh approach to developing men's sheds and their integration into the community, addressing such things as, creating new and sustainable men's sheds, improving retention, performance and expansion of existing men's sheds, developing strategies and attraction of new opportunities to men's sheds, and their community in a practical way.

Surveys show that nearly 80% of Australians now want a unique symbol of our identity honouring ALL of us including indigenous and migrant Australians – in the same way Canada adopted the maple leaf in 1965 (the Maple Leaf design had been around since 1919).
