The Future of Fatherhood: The key shift that will transform behaviours for generations

This practical and interactive workshop explores how shifting mindsets and behaviours can create more balanced lives, healthier workplaces, and stronger families. Participants will explore how social expectations influence their decisions, develop greater self-awareness, and learn practical strategies to create personal change that supports a more equitable future for everyone.

Through guided exercises, you will reflect on what success looks like for you, how to overcome limiting beliefs, and how your personal choices can contribute to broader cultural change and gender equity.

Why This Conversation Matters
Balancing career and family remains a significant challenge, with half of Australian fathers reporting difficulty managing work and family responsibilities. This imbalance contributes to increased stress, burnout, and a lack of clarity about what success looks like personally and professionally.

Outdated expectations about men’s roles at work and home continue to shape leadership behaviours and limit progress toward gender equity. Real change starts with you, through greater self-awareness, challenging limiting beliefs, and adopting new ways of thinking that support more equitable workplaces and healthier outcomes for families and communities.

Key learnings:

• Explore what holds fathers and men back and how stereotypes and biases reinforce outdated social norms and limit personal and professional fulfilment
• Participate in a goal setting exercise to clarify what you truly want personally and professionally and why that clarity is essential for wellbeing and success
• Understand the power of engaged fatherhood and the role men play in advancing gender equity in workplaces and families including where we are now and where we need to go
• Explore the role of men and fathers in changing beliefs, behaviours, and thoughts to support a more equitable future
• Participate in a guided exercise to identify and challenge personal beliefs and learn how to shift perspectives to support more equitable outcomes for fathers, men, and women
• Walk away with simple and actionable strategies to make positive changes that improve your wellbeing and create lasting impact in your home, workplace, and community.
