Making Australia the best place in the world to be a parent

Find out how in our new report.

Who We Are

We are an inclusive, independent, not-for-profit movement giving voice to parents, carers and their families.

The Parenthood launched in 2013 and with the support of long-term partners & collaborators we've built a community of over 68,000 mums, dads & carers.

Parenting matters. In raising children, parents have the future in their hands. By the age of 5, 90% of a child’s brain is fully developed so the early years of a child’s life are richly formative.

Prime Minister Morrison: Let's make Australia the best place in the world to be a parent! We’re calling on you to do better for Aussie parents and children!

The real question for Australia is not whether we can afford to have quality early childhood education, but whether we can afford not to.

– Wendy McCarthy / Inaugural Patron of The Parenthood

I’m determined to demand better outcomes for parents and families across Australia at this critical moment in history. To do that, I need you. I need your voices. I need your willingness to engage on these issues. I need you to be unwavering in your belief that things can be better.

– Georgie Dent / Executive Director of The Parenthood

We are not for profit

We come from every state and territory across Australia and are united in our effort to create a community where parents and carers are supported so that children can thrive.
