All staff were friendly and helpful from my last-minute booking and on the day. It is very reasonably priced, clean, and the centre itself has been very well designed for kids of all ages and abilities. We will definitely be back.

Great little place with lots of things for the kids to do to meet all their sensory needs! Staff are always so friendly and lovely with all the kids. Limited to only a certain amounts of kids per session which makes it that extra bit special.
Kellie Parker
Fantastic friendly staff. Great quality equipment. A place my kids felt safe to be themselves and I wasn’t worried about how others would react to them!
The Beginning
Shine Shed South West
It was originally opened in 2018 by the Shine Shed’s founder, Lisa Fruhstuck, in response to the notable social isolation endured by all members of the disability community. This all-inclusive play space encouraged the continued development of more inclusive play spaces to cater to a broad range of disabilities and social needs.

Lisa operated Shine Shed Campbelltown until April 2023, after which McCall Community Services took over operations and rebranded as Shine Shed South West. Grounded by inclusivity, Shine Shed will be able to continue flourishing under McCall Services as they continue to challenge societal expectations and make this play space bigger and better for all. McCall Services also runs the Shine Shed North West which is located in Vineyard in The Hills district.
