The New Zealand Father and Child Society, established in 1998, was created to give local father groups/organisations support in setting up and running their initiatives, as well as giving better access to information and improve communication between these groups.

The aim of the society and its website is to encourage and support dialogue on issues impacting on fathers and their role in families and society.
