In the lead up to Father’s Day, Dads4Kids congratulates Australian fathers on their increasing level of commitment to their children. Dads are more involved with their kids than ever. Dads4Kids would also like to congratulate the Australian TV, Radio and Print media who are working hard to promote fathers in a positive way.
Dads4Kids operations manager, Nathaniel Marsh said, “Strong families are built on love. However, love doesn’t just happen—you have to work at love. The hectic pace of your life as a father can leave you short on time and low in energy, leaving little room to work at building the loving relationships that a father needs to build in his family. But making memories is one way to help link hearts together.”
Marsh continued, “Memories are powerful. Think back to your own childhood whether good or bad. No doubt you have some very defining memories that most likely bonded you and another family member or helped define who you are today. The memories you create with your children will help shape your children’s destiny. Make them good.”
Here are some ways to make memories with your children, as featured in this TV CSA campaign.

Dads4Kids is a harm prevention charity committed to excellence in fathering
There’s a crisis in Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 870,000 children, around 1 in 6, live without their biological father at home. The data shows that fatherlessness contributes to nearly all the social issues facing our nation today. The statistics are grim, but there is hope.
Since 2002, Dads4Kids has worked tirelessly to turn the tide of fatherlessness. Each year, we reach millions of people with messages of excellence in fathering through our Community Service Announcements on TV, Social Media, Radio, and Print Media. Since Father’s Day 2002, the weekly Dads4Kids email newsletter has reached tens of thousands of men, making it the longest-running weekly fatherhood email newsletter in the world.
Dads4Kids has hosted hundreds of fatherhood success seminars, conferences and national summits, developed the online Courageous Fathering Course, and the high-level Good to Great Fathering Course. Dads4Kids has campaigned against child sexual abuse, and in 2008 we helped pioneer a National Men’s Health Policy in government. Through our efforts, the lives of over 2,500 men have been saved. The tide is turning, but there is still so much more to do.
For the sake of Australia’s children, your support is needed. Please sign up so you can stay up to date and get regular inspiration and encouragement as a Dad. We also would love for you to consider making a tax-deductible donation today, and ensuring the important work of Dads4Kids can
