About

Dads Groups are a gathering of new fathers meeting together weekly with their kids, a coffee, and often a playground. The peer-to-peer approach of Dads Groups create an evidenced based and effective framework for support — something that is often missing from the existing fatherhood experience in Australia. Groups are led by a new father, but usually with the support of a local council worker, especially in the establishment stage. Over 70 Dads Groups have been established around Australia in the last 5 years, with demonstrated impact.

HeartKids is not affiliated with this support group or organisation. It is the responsibility of the individual and/or their carer(s) to determine whether this or any other organisation on this website may provide some benefit to them.
