Community Spotlight: Strong Dads.

You know you’re great.
We know you’re great.

And we know you’ve got a lot on your plate.

Family. Work. Relationships. Life.
Plenty to juggle... and plenty to feel proud of.

Being a dad is one of the biggest roles you’ll ever take on.

So, we’d like to introduce you to Strong Dads.

Founded by Si, Strong Dads is built on a simple belief:

“When a dad is supported, the whole family feels it.”

It’s not about fixing dads.

It’s about giving dads a space to pause, reflect, build confidence and keep growing with practical coaching that makes sense in real life.

Because modern fatherhood is a big gig.

Sometimes, having someone in your corner can make a good thing even better.

Strong Dads is a "Geelong-based coaching service helping fathers show up steady, present and connected" at home, at work and in life.

We love seeing services that recognise Dad matters, too. 🤍

Check out **Strong Dads** and see what Si is creating for greater Geelong dads.

🌈 17th of May
❤️ We celebrate
🌏 IDAHOBIT

Today is the International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination! 🌈

Why May 17? It was on this day in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the WHO Classification of Diseases - a historic step towards inclusion. Three decades later, despite how far we’ve come, the LGBTQIA+ community unfortunately still faces discrimination.

Days like today offer all of us the opportunity to visibly stand against discrimination. LGBTQIA+ community and allies alike, today we take action to make the world more inclusive.

This year, we couldn’t be prouder of the massive wave of allyship, pride, and visibility we’ve seen across workplaces, schools, and communities.

To every single person who’s gone rainbow: you have sent SUCH a vital message of hope, support, and safety to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Whether you wore a rainbow ribbon, started a conversation, hosted a fundraiser, shared IDAHOBIT online, or hung up a poster, thank you. Each action contributes to building a more inclusive future.

Thank you for showing up proudly with us!
