The National Marriage Coalition

The National Marriage Coalition (NMC) was formed in July of 2004. The Coalition aims to act as a national clearing house for information on, and activism about, the institutions of marriage and family. It will feature research and other information on its web site, hold national conferences, and produce publications as needed. It will work with existing organisations in seeking to uphold and support marriage, the most fundamental of Australian institutions. The founders of the National Marriage Coalition in 2004 were the Australian Christian Lobby, the Australian Family Association, and the Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation.

The Fatherhood Foundation

Founded in 2002, the Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation is an independent non-partisan, non-profit, charitable association, with a goal to inspire men to a greater level of excellence as fathers, by encouraging and educating them, thereby renewing and empowering families. The Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation publishes a weekly email titled, 'fathersonline.org' and holds an annual national conference on fatherhood, fatherhood forums, seminars, courses to help men prioritise their family relationships and national policy documents on father-friendly government policy. The Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation believes that marriage is the best way for children and fathers to be connected in a loving, stable relationship. Consequently marriage needs the full protection of both government and society.
