Consultation has concluded

Creating opportunities for dads and male carers across Maroondah and Yarra Ranges to connect with support, programs and activities.

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!

Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

Have your say

Share your ideas and feedback to inform a program of events for local dads and male carers.
