Man with a Pram
Man With A Pram is an annual event taking place all over the country on the weekend of Father's Day (which this year 2023 is September 3rd).
Parents, kids, grandparents and friends and perinatal health representatives come together for a social walk to celebrate and support fathers and father figures. We'd love to have you and your community join in!

Dads are more involved as parents than ever before. Not only are they showing up, being present and actively caring for their kids, but evidence shows that the majority of new mums turn to their partners for support.
It's a massive change, and the early years of fatherhood are a time when fathers often experience acute stress, frustration and/or loneliness.
This year, show your support for dads everywhere by walking in your local Man With A Pram walk or by registering to be a host.
The Man With A Pram is a Fundraiser event that drives awareness and funds towards perinatal mental health programs and research.
Dad's Group who co-host the event is a national charity that implements evidence based programs of support (Hospital, Digital and Community Programs) with their organisational partners and government to bridge the gap where there are no supports for new fathers. Research shows that positive strength based paternal programs delivered in the early years can reduce the risk factors of mental ill health, family violence and suicide. Man With A Pram and Dads Group’s network of amazing partners are bringing about this change to build better stronger healthier communities that genuinely engage and support new dads and their families.
We hope that this message will resonate with you and we invite you to join us.
