About the Award

The Queensland Father of the Year Award is designed to honour and celebrate the importance of fathers and father-figures throughout our state and its local communities.

The aim of the award is to recognise the significant role fathers play in their children’s well-being and development and to raise awareness of the value of fathers in the family and the community.

It identifies and honours outstanding fathers for their exceptional commitment to raising their children or for their exemplary contribution to the development of children in the community.
