Advancing the
science of Fatherhood

Australian Fatherhood
Research Consortium

The Australian Fatherhood Research Consortium is a collaboration of researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

We exist to advance the science of fatherhood, inform practice and policy that supports men and their families, and promote healthy inclusion of fathers in family life.

The consortium is convened by Associate Professor Jacqui Macdonald, Deakin University.

Researchers and practitioners interested in fathers, fathering or fatherhood are invited to contribute to the annual symposium on Fatherhood Research in Australia to be held on May 16th and 17th 2024.
