Too many rainbow dads parent in isolation. Mainstream groups don't quite fit — they don't reflect our families, or understand the legal, social and emotional realities that come with them.

So we built something that does.

Rainbow Dads Victoria exists to create a village where rainbow dads and their kids are the norm, not the exception. A place where you can show up as yourself, no explanations needed. Where your family is just a family.

Our playgroups, events and catch-ups reduce isolation, build genuine friendships, and make a real difference to the mental health of both parents and kids.

RDV is open to anyone who identifies as a rainbow dad, or is on the journey to become one — regardless of relationship status, cultural background, age or family structure. Solo dads, partnered dads, co-parents, step-parents, carers, dads from previous relationships, and those building their family through surrogacy, fostering, adoption or donor conception.

However your family looks, there's a place here for you.
