Despite Aboriginal parents and their children being identified as a health priority group, culturally relevant parenting support is scarce, particularly support that is tailored for Aboriginal fathers. This article reports the systematic cultural adaptation of the Healthy Dads Healthy Kids programme for Aboriginal fathers and their children living on Darkinjung Country, Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia resulting in the development of biya yadha gudjagang yadha: Healthy Dads Healthy Mob. This study highlights the need for parenting programmes involving Aboriginal participants to include Aboriginal-led cultural governance, comprehensive codesign with local Aboriginal communities, and for the knowledges, experiences, and values of local communities to be centralised in the development of culturally responsive parenting programmes
