Cardinia Council, in partnership with Anglicare Victoria, have completed another successful Cardinia Dads support group.

The free six-week face-to-face support group for dads in Cardinia aimed to provide valuable resources and a supportive environment for dads with children aged from birth to school age.

The group explored early childhood development and early years services, helping dads establish meaningful connections with their children and fostering links within their community.

The first Cardinia Dads group session commenced in May, with sessions held at Anglicare Victoria’s Parentzone on Army Road in Pakenham.

This year’s final Cardinia Dads group session will run from Wednesday 9 October to Wednesday 13 November.

In addition to these support groups, Cardinia Shire Council offers various other Maternal and Child Health services, including health and development checks, sleep settling programs, Smalltalk supported playgroups, and first-time parent groups.
