Father of the Year

The Shepherd Centre Australian Father of The Year Award.

Most children think their father is the best dad in the world – and rightly so!

The vital role fathers play in the development and wellbeing of their children is certainly something to celebrate.

Each year, The Australian Father’s Day Council together with The Shepherd Centre, present two distinguished awards to two outstanding fathers in recognition of their achievements and contribution to family and community life.

The Shepherd Centre Australian Father of the Year and the NSW Community Father of the Year 2010 award winners were announced prior to Father’s Day on Friday 27 August 2010 at the Sydney Opera House.

Congratulations to Guy Cooper, Australian Father of the Year 2010 and Robert Schneider, NSW Community Father of the Year 2010. Both winners were presented with their award at the Opera House on Friday 27 August 2010 in recognition of their ongoing commitment to their families and wider community.
