Our program is for children (0-6 years) and their dads, stepdads, grandfathers and other men who play an important role in a child's life.
Our activities are designed to help dads and father figures:
- develop social networks with other dads
- connect with their children together in fun activities
- recognise the important role they play in their family
- strengthen families and support positive health and wellbeing.
Dads Matter activities are free for all father figures and their children and are flexible to suit your schedule.
