Who we are
A community where every family belongs
Rainbow Dads Victoria started with a simple idea, that rainbow dads and their kids shouldn't have to navigate the journey alone.
We're a volunteer-run community of current and prospective rainbow dads across Victoria. We get together for playgroups, social events, and everything in between. We share the hard stuff and celebrate the good stuff.
Whether you're planning your family, deep in the toddler years, or somewhere in between — there's a place here for you.
What we offer
Everything your family needs to thrive
