Together, We’re Changing the Story for Dads
From personal connection to national advocacy, Dads Group helps fathers and communities See the Change, Be the Change, and Lead the Change.
See the Change
We’re shining a light on what’s missing, from hospital systems to workplace culture.
Our advocacy, research, and storytelling highlight what’s working, and where support systems are falling short.
By shining a light on the real experiences of fathers, we’re shifting how families, communities, and organisations see and value the role of dads.
Be the Change
Fatherhood starts with showing up.
When dads show up, share their stories, and support each other, it changes everything, for them, their partners, and their kids.
Through local groups and community events, we’re creating spaces where dads can belong, learn, and grow together, building stronger families from the inside out.
Lead the Change
Real change takes partnership.
We work with councils, workplaces, and community organisations that share our vision of stronger families and connected fathers.
Together we design programs, training, and community events that make it easier for dads to belong, engage, and thrive, wherever they live or work.
Dads. Kids. Coffee. Maybe a ball or a playground. It sounds simple because it is simple.
