LOOKING AHEAD AT 2024

We are thrilled with the success of the Awards event in September 2023. The
award recipients demonstrate the clear impact and value of fathers and father
friendly workplaces on children, families and communities.  

The Awards received wide media coverage that for the most part focused on and
promoted the significance of engaged fathers and father figures, and the
positive impact this has on the future of our children. 

We know that 2024 will only be bigger and better, and we can’t wait to uncover
everyday men and workplaces doing extraordinary things for families, communities
and most importantly – our children. 

With YOUR support and sponsorship, we can create a positive intergenerational
impact for all Australian children.

A BETTER TOMORROW FOR YOUR CHILDREN STARTS WITH YOU.

Research shows that supporting fathers do not only become more effective
caregivers, but also alleviate the negative impacts of disadvantage and break
generational cycles, resulting in happier, healthier and more resilient
communities.

Join The Fathering Project by hosting a Paper Planes Fundraiser to spotlight the
crucial role of fathers and father-figures in creating a brighter future for all
children and families.

An all-inclusive, weather friendly, easy to host event that strengthens the bond
between children and fathers/father figures to serve a greater good.

FATHERING TODAY


WHAT FATHERING MEANS TO ME

I feel incredibly privileged to be the adopted dad to 5 beautiful kids aged 8 to
21.  Parenting is simultaneously the single greatest challenge and the single
greatest joy in my life.  It’s a constant conundrum trying to balance the desire
to be ‘fun dad’ and also serve their long-term needs, which sometimes means
doing ‘un-fun’ stuff.  Balancing the need to be present and available at work
and also present and available as a dad, is tricky too.  And then there’s the
reflection part: ‘I should have handled that better’ or ‘I wish I had done X not
Y’.  But I’ve grown to accept that success isn’t about being the ‘perfect’ dad. 
It about being the ‘have a go’ dad, the ‘show-up’ dad, the ’shut-up and listen’
dad.  I don’t have words to describe the sense of pride and love I have for my
kids. I just know that being their dad is the most precious thing in my life,
and the most meaningful thing I will ever do.  

Michael, NSW – Proud Dad of 5
