We weren’t expecting our meeting with Mount Isa City Council to turn into a round table on the current state of fatherhood, but that’s what it became as we all shared our experiences and insights of being dads. Thanks Mount Isa City Council for your support of our new Dads Group project in North West QLD!

Dads Group connects local Dads so they can share their experiences, make new friends and enjoy healthier family lives.
About us
Dad’s Group is a not-for-profit community organisation committed to connecting new Dads, thereby improving men’s health, preventing family violence and reducing isolation and suicide. We partner with sponsors, councils and community leaders to support individual Dads Groups based in different suburbs, through events that allow new fathers to take their children and meet with other new fathers in their area. These events typically take the shape of BBQs and local café meet ups, as a means of providing Fathers with a space to spend time with their children while gaining social support through the vehicle of sharing experiences.

Making connections in Mount Isa. Our safeguard for ensuring sustained systemic change is by sharing ownership of our Dads Group programs with local communities. That’s why in Mount Isa we’re working with Centacare North Queensland (NQ), and why we spent today networking with local community organisations, to broaden our network and therefore our reach to even more dads.

Dads Group reposted this
Introducing some of our Dads Group team leading the charge on the Sunshine Coast. We recently attended a Maternity Expo alongside Sunshine Coast Health Institute, Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service, Wishlist (Sunshine Coast Health Foundation) and Sunshine Coast Council.

It was a fantastic opportunity meeting new and expecting parents last week in Nambour, alongside Sunshine Coast Health Institute, Wishlist (Sunshine Coast Health Foundation), Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service and Sunshine Coast Council. We'll soon be re-launching the Dads of the Sunshine Coast community group, creating a space for these new dads to connect.
What an amazing experience for Sunshine Coast new parents (and grandparents) at yesterday's Maternity Expo at Nambour RSL Club. In partnership with Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service, Coast Life Midwifery, Dads Group, Wishlist (Sunshine Coast Health Foundation) and Sunshine Coast Council (Healthy Sunshine Coast program), the Sunshine Coast community had the opportunity to check out Sunshine Coast Health's Maternity Services expo stalls and hear from local specialists like Professor Ted Weaver, Dr Rachael Nugent and Dr Jane Maher and many wonderful midwives in an open Q & A forum. The day was topped off with a Baby Bunting lucky door prize kindly organised by Wishlist (Sunshine Coast Health Foundation) and donated by Snap Paediatrics. The Growing Connections: My Maternity Care at Sunshine Coast Health event is part of three-part Community Health Series which finishes on Thursday 7 November at Caloundra RSL. The series will be changing focus to cardiovascular primary care for the last seminar of the series. Alison Jones

In Glenroy, a dad shared his journey towards finding work-life balance and prioritising self-care. Recognising the importance of spending quality time with his baby, he made the decision to request part-time work. This shift has allowed him to focus on his family while also nurturing his own well-being, creating a healthier and happier home environment. Discover how we support dads in achieving work-life balance. Visit www.dadsgroup.org for resources and community.

At a recent gathering in Toorak, one father shared a deeply heartfelt reflection on fatherhood. He described it as a lifelong commitment to teaching, providing, and guiding his children toward a future filled with opportunity and support. Fatherhood, to him, means imparting wisdom, offering guidance, and leading with love. 📚❤️ We value these powerful insights from fathers across Australia.

In a recent session at Croydon MCH focused on "Communication," one father shared an insightful strategy for balancing well-being and family life. He and his partner developed a schedule to ensure each of them enjoys a full night of uninterrupted sleep on a regular basis. By maintaining consistent communication and mutual support, they’ve enhanced both their partnership and their effectiveness as parents. At Dads Group, we’re dedicated to fostering connection and practical support among fathers. Learn more about how we empower dads at www.dadsgroup.org.
