A great piece written by Father's Day Council Member Professor Talal Yassine AM. "Their story highlights the resilience needed to rebuild a relationship that once seemed irreparably broken, emphasising the importance of creating a sense of safety and trust." Fatherhood is not about perfection. We each travel a different path, and we have unique stories. Jimmy and David's story is unique, but it's not uncommon. It's not uncommon because it is a story of reconnection, rebuilding relationships and starting fresh. Through sheer determination and a desire to deeply connect, they have forged a bond and created a strong family unit. They have broken the cycle by embracing fatherhood and re-writing their stories.

Listening to David Campbell OAM talk during the week about his relationship with Jimmy Barnes AO reflecting on their journey from estrangement to a deep father-son bond was truly inspiring. Their story highlights that fatherhood is a lifelong commitment, not about perfection, but about being present and having the courage to reconnect and heal old wounds. As we celebrate Father's Day today, it’s a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to rebuild trust and create a meaningful relationship with our children. The Fathering Project
