2017 Father of the Year:

Former NSW Premier Mike Baird, a father of three, was the recipient of the 2017 Australian Father of the Year, in recognition of ongoing commitment to his children and to the wider community.

I absolutely took it for granted, I was on the move in my career and I didn’t take enough time to not only support my wife but to delight in the wonders of a young child,” Mr Baird said. Mike was recognised by the Shepherd Centre. “My strong advice would be to not do what I did and to take the time. If you’re thinking about taking a week off, take two; if you’re thinking about taking two, take four, or take months.

Mr Baird, who quit politics in January to spend more time with his family, said he was a “very undeserving” ­Father of the Year, but was “humbled” to receive the title. He said political life “took its toll” and it had been left to his wife Kerryn to “step up many times”.

Queensland Father of the Year Jeremy Lange.

…

Selfless, hard-working and positive – that’s 32-year old mining electrician from Mackay, Jeremy Lange.

Growing up without a positive male role model, Jeremy’s passion and dedication to his twins, Lachlan and Seth – who were diagnosed with autism at two years of age – is an inspiration to all who meet him. As a young, single dad, Jeremy shouldered the responsibility of overseeing his sons’ development, which included extensive occupational and speech therapy. He’s also actively involved in Mackay’s autism community.

In 2012 Jeremy met wife Rebecca, who describes him as a ‘super dad’ and her rock. In 2016 they welcomed baby Hugh into their happy, healthy and growing family.
