About the Fathers program

Fathers come in all shapes and sizes. So does the work with fathers. Our aim is to promote the wellbeing of children from birth onwards by engaging fathers and father-figures in the lives of children. Over the last decade we have developed programs for fathers and for services wishing to support families. We have worked with staff in antenatal, postnatal, childcare, Indigenous, health and school services and with dads from all backgrounds. Our research on fathers and families has also expanded.

All programs and projects at the Family Action Centre strive to include fathers in their planning and delivery. To find out more about how to include fathers so that everyone benefits click on the buttons to the left.
