When approaching how to support the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, there is a tendency in favour of strengthening and empowering mothers, rather than fathers.

Key Points: 
  • When approaching how to support the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, there is a tendency in favour of strengthening and empowering mothers, rather than fathers.
  • We analysed data from around 150 First Nations fathers about the support they needed.

Doing away with negative stereotypes

  • In Australia, there has been a particularly cruel characterisation of Indigenous fathers as deviant, distant, and/or drunkards.
  • These harmful characterisations were reflected in a 2016 cartoon by Bill Leak of an Aboriginal man unable to recall the name of his son.
  • They are often disciplined, devoted and sober, and want to be positive role models for their children.

More support needed

  • Our research found more than 60% of Indigenous dads surveyed indicated needing further support.
  • These were finances, social services, housing, and the ability to spend more time with their children.
  • One of the fathers expressed frustration at the lack of available social services, wanting more support in general.

What needs to be done?

  • This means examining the social and economic circumstances that can affect a person’s life, from their housing situation through to feeling included in society.
  • There is a pressing need for additional investigation into how best to support Indigenous fathers and Indigenous men.
  • There are also positive flow-on effects to others, as found by researchers Lyndon Reilly and Susan Rees:
    If you have strong Indigenous fathers, you will have strong Indigenous families.
  • If you have strong Indigenous fathers, you will have strong Indigenous families.
