Community Fathering

Not all dads need the same things, so our approach supports all dads. Whether you are a new dad, a teen dad, a single dad, an older dad, a grand-dad, part of a blended family, a father figure, a biological dad with little connection to mum, or don’t have as much access to your family as you’d like, we’ve got your back.

In the spirit of Reconciliation

The Fathering Project acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this country, and their connection to land, water and community. We pay our respect to them, their cultures and customs, and to Elders past, present and emerging.

The Fathering Project is an accredited charity under the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. We are a harm prevention charity.
