The year's halfway point is every dad's halftime break—a chance to reflect, reset, and finish strong by leading his family with greater purpose, presence, and intentionality.

When a woman who'd written a bestseller for women called to ask for help reaching men, my first instinct was caution. But Dawn Williams is offering men something powerful, and her upcoming book, "The Rebuilt Man", will help men rediscover the man they were created to be.

Shed Happens is a non-judgemental place where blokes can be honest and talk about the good, bad, happy or sad rather than bottling it up.

30 June is only a few days away, and we still have some way to go to reach our 2026 EOFY funding goal of $140,500. Time is running out to make a tax-deductible donation to help Dads4Kids continue building men, growing fathers, and changing generations.

Father absence is not a marginal variable in gang formation; it is the epicentre. Yet, it's largely a hidden — or ignored – engine of global violence.

Turning hearts of dads to their children, and the hearts of the children to their dads, is at the core of what Dads4Kids is all about.

The data shows that fatherlessness contributes to almost all the social issues facing our nation today. The statistics are grim, but there is hope, and Dads4Kids is leading the way.

Pints and Ponytails events offer fathers a relaxed, low-pressure space where they can learn how to style their daughters' hair while bonding and sharing parenting experiences. As a father of five beautiful daughters, I wish I’d thought of such a marvellous idea myself!

As fathers, we need to face the facts, recognise the dangers, and do our best to navigate the modern world as best we can. Not only for our own wellbeing, but also for our families to thrive.

Easter arrives each spring with something most dads don't fully realise: a ready-made opportunity to lead their families toward what matters most.

The removal of children is not a neutral act. It is shaped by political ideology, inequality, and unchecked state power — demanding urgent scrutiny and systemic reform.

Every year, millions of families lose their fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons too early. Men in Australia live an average of nearly five years less than women. But here's the good news — the vast majority of premature male deaths are preventable.

The daily, often mundane work of fatherhood — bedtime conversations, consistency in discipline, the showing up again and again — this is the soil where transformation happens.
