Fathers 4 Justice believes the time to act is when those we represent need us, not after they have been through the trials and tribulations associated with breakdown. When the flames have dwindled, leaving only smoke and ash, it's all but too late. The hurt, anger and confusion are all that remain and often lead only to worse scenarios. While it is very important to assist in the healing, we need to do as much as we can to prevent the trauma; we need to minimize the hurt and suffering, to ALL involved.

It is with this mentality that Fathers 4 Justice Victoria, is embarking on a new and exciting venture. Instead of just offering a voice for fathers, children and their extended family, we aim to assist them through our membership program, offering a range of services readily available to them.

The initial fee for Fathers 4 Justice membership is currently $0.00. F4J is solely relying upon the generosity of donations to support not only the administration of Fathers 4 Justice Victoria, but to aid in its growth and ventures into new areas. In return, Fathers 4 Justice Victoria seeks to make these services available in the shortest time possible.

Note: Individual programs may include small fees to ensure their development and success.

•  Fathers 4 Justice Mentor Program

A program in development and geared towards assisting fathers, children and extended family members deal with the effect of family breakdown, by offering experience, advice and general support through the trauma.

•  Fathers 4 Justice Camping Program

Camping is great way to allow members to escape the tribulations associated with the after effects of breakdown. This program aims to put members in touch with members and create a fun environment for everyone involved, including the children. The program will also assist in rebuilding confidence, improving relationship building skills and by providing a means of coming to terms with a change in life.

•  Fathers 4 Justice Social Program

Get out there and get on with life! The message behind this program is simple. Family breakdown is not an excuse to give up on life! The Fathers 4 Justice Social Program aims to provide a means for members to get out there as much as possible and rediscover the value of living life. Whether it's golf, bowling, the movies, the pub, dances, sport or events, there should always be something fun to do!

•  Fathers 4 Justice Member Events

Throughout the year, Fathers 4 Justice will be developing an ongoing calendar dedicated to member only events including BBQ's, functions, bands, seminars and Family Day Outs.

•  Fathers 4 Justice Contact Dad Field Days

Fathers 4 Justice understand that a large proportion of those we represent are contact dads and therefore we would like to provide a dedicated service to them. This service will largely rely on feedback from our users.

•  Fathers 4 Fathers Accommodation Program

When the fire ignites, fathers are often left in the dark. Coming home to find the door locks changed and belongings thrown out onto the driveway can be very distressing. The first thing that needs to be addressed in this situation is accommodation and assistance to deal with the anger and hurt. Fathers for Justice would like to establish a program that allows fathers to help fathers deal with this and similar forms of stress by providing an immediate accommodation solution that offers good company and support.

•  The Good Karma Club

This is a two fold program, what you get out of it depends on what you put in. Fathers 4 Justice recognize there are other organizations that require assistance and the Good Karma Club aims to give just that. By taking time out to help others, a member can gain clarity of mind and a better awareness of others needs. It will also further the cause by promoting stronger virtues and by taking on responsibilities.

If you have any suggestions on how Fathers 4 Justice can provide further assistance, or improvements on existing programs, please let us know.
