Meet and share experiences and information with other fathers, grandfathers and other male carers
MyTime Men is a unique service for fathers and other male primary carers of children with a disability, developmental delay or chronic medical condition.
It’s a regular informal meeting place where you can unwind, socialise, talk about your experiences, get information, share ideas about managing a range of situations and support and be supported by others.
Members get to plan the group sessions around their specific needs as carers. MyTime Men group is run by parent facilitators who have shared experience in raising a child with disabilities and delays.
