Learner Dad is Community established to give dads’ thoughts a voice, Dads’ inspirations a place to be nurtured, and Dads’ aspirations a place to flourish. Being a Dad is the greatest role any man will play in their lives.
Yet, for some reason, there is no holistic support system for dads that captures all the good, the bad and the ugly that a dad is; A role model, a guide, a labourer, a secondary parent, a trusted partner, a provider, a bystander, and so much more.
Learner Dad is a community built by dads for dads that grows in strength and utility thanks to the members.
Through meaningful conversations Learner Dad seeks to empower Dads by challenging what they know and seeking what they don’t. Lessons in fatherhood can be the key to being better versions of themselves, not just as fathers, but as community builders and leaders.

Chris Ellul - Dad, Managing Director
As a new dad to 2 amazing angels, navigating fatherhood can feel overwhelming at times. A community built by dads for dads, like Learner Dad, is an invaluable resource. It’s a space where you can share experiences, learn from others, and find support from people who truly understand what you’re going through. Whether it’s advice on balancing work and family or just knowing you’re not alone, this kind of community makes the journey of fatherhood a lot more manageable and rewarding
Calvin Briffa - Dad, Managing Director
Fatherhood is an elevated form of leadership, and while a lot of it is essentially trial & error, learning on the job, I truly believe that as a father, it is my responsibility to show up at my best, and to to that, it is my responsibility to be constantly learning. It would be great if fatherhood came with a guide or a user manual so that what is man’s most important and most rewarding responsibility was done absolutely right. But in the absence of that Learner Dad is a great place to start.
Philip Cortis - Dad, Managing Director
I’m the proudest dad of 3 amazing daughters and I clearly remember the mixed emotions 14 years ago when we were expecting for the first time. I was so worried about so many things, and I did not want to worry my wife, so I kept the worries for myself.
It would have been really amazing and helpful to be part of a community that can understand me and perhaps guide me.
