"He aha te mea nui o te ao"

What is the most important thing in the world?

"He tangata, he tangata, he tangata"

It is the people, it is the people, it is the people

About us

Founded in 2019, Dads Charter supports capable fathers including dads and mums of all genders who are experiencing crisis, being subject to domestic violence, and emotional and physical abuse during challenging times, through resources on fatherhood, care of children, separation, and divorce.

Dads Charter is committed to offering the very best resources and services to fathers of all backgrounds and genders across Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Support can be of the greatest need when you can talk the complex issues with someone who will listen and find a satisfactory way forward utilising the most suitable resource and service available. Speaking out as a father is challenging during a crisis. Dads Charter is available to provide support through a network of service providers in the community.

We are committed to providing confidential support during these difficult periods. We will listen carefully to what you say and provide guidance and help you identify and consider the options carefully.
