Yarra Ranges Council and Maroondah City Council understand the importance of prioritising the wellbeing of dads and male carers. After identifying a gap in programs and activities, the Family, Children and Youth teams are working together with Building Better Brains, to develop a plan of programs and activities for dads and male carers of children aged 0-8 years.

Help us to build a quality program, by sharing your feedback on what would best support you in your role as a dad or male carer, whilst building social and community connections!

This project is unashamedly gender focussed, and as a result of this we will only be planning programs for dads & male/identifying as male carers.

Come & chat to us & find out more around this project & how Councils are supporting Dads & Male carers in your area.
