This Sunday, 5th of September, is Father's Day.

Father’s Day is widely celebrated and joyous occasion for many dads and families in Australia. It is a day intended to appreciate and honour fatherhood and the many wonderful aspects of what it means to be a dad. We recognise that for some however, Father’s Day is not a cause for celebration. For many it can be a difficult and confronting time, with reminders of family separation, loss, strained or absent relationships between dad and family, illness, and much more.

This will be a space for all of our experiences.

What are your thoughts and feelings around this upcoming Father’s Day?

We recognise that everyone's relationships to a father, or as a father, are at various stages and we welcome everyone to bring their experiences to this space. If this conversation brings up feelings of distress, please contact the SANE Help Centre, or Mensline or 1800 RESPECT additional support.
