Activity details
Fund an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) to adapt the Caring Dads program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers using violence to change their behaviour.
Implementation progress update
In March 2024, the ACT Government contracted Yeddung Mura Aboriginal Corporation to work with Kids First Australia to adapt and deliver the Caring Dads program. The adapted program will support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fathers who have used, or are at risk of using family violence to change their behaviour. Yeddung Mura will be the first ACCO in Australia to design and deliver an adapted version of the Caring Dads program. The program is funded through the National Partnership Agreement and is due to commence in August 2025. For more information see: https://goodpathways.org.au/effective-fathering/.
