Hey Dad WA

Through Hey Dad WA, Ngala aims to engage men in early parenting by providing a ‘male friendly’ environment across all Ngala services. Hey Dad WA is staffed by male workers and assists men to gain the skills needed for them to be fully involved in all aspects of parenting and fatherhood, encouraging them to build close, strong relationships with their children as loving, caring and active fathers.
