Playford Men's Shed Incorporated is a nonprofit men's health and wellbeing organisation operating in the City of Playford, South Australia, since its establishment in 2014. Affiliated with the Australian Men's Shed Association (AMSA), it provides a community space focused on fostering social connection, skill-building, and mental health support through collaborative projects and activities[4].

The organisation facilitates woodworking, metalworking, laser cutting, 3D printing, and model railway construction, alongside social activities such as Friday luncheons, monthly outings, and fundraising events[1][2]. Its programs include the "Spanner in the Works" men's health initiative and community-focused projects commissioned by local schools, councils, and wildlife groups[1][3].

As an AMSA member, the shed promotes men's health awareness through the national "Shed Online" and "Shed Wireless" platforms[5]. It operates under the auspices of the City of Playford, with a Health and Wellbeing Officer overseeing operations[4]. Membership is open to men of diverse cultural backgrounds and abilities, including veterans, with activities designed to combat social isolation and encourage knowledge-sharing across generations[4]. The organisation sustains itself through charitable projects and public fundraising initiatives[1][3].
