“The Fathering Project is the most powerful force in Australia today to change the future of our kids” Hon John Anderson AO, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia
After talking to dying fathers in his clinic who expressed deep regrets about having failed as fathers, he decided to try to help young dads to become better dads.
Bruce has since become a leader in the promotion of good fathering. He has written 3 best-selling books on fathering, has given fathering seminars in 7 countries to over 17,000 listeners and founded the award-winning Fathering Project whose aim is to improve childrens’ outcomes by inspiring and equipping fathers and father figures to effectively engage with their kids.
Dads Groups have already been formed in hundreds of schools across Australia and has a powerful internet and social media outreach.
This work is predicted to have a profound impact on reducing the risks that face young people today.
Bruce has been publicly acknowledged as ‘the Fred Hollows of fathering in Australia’ (Steve Biddulph) and his work and books have been recommended by many prominent Australians including Justin Langer, Dennis Lillee, John Howard, Fiona Stanley, Kim Beazley, Adam Simpson, Tim Costello, John Worsfold and Geraldine Doogue.
