Brief History...

Parents Without Partners was founded in 1957 in New York City by two single parents: Jim Egleson, a non-custodial parent, and Jacqueline Bernard, a custodial parent. As concerned parents they felt isolated from society because of their marital status, and decided to form a mutual support organization. Later, media attention brought enquiries from all over America and beyond.

In 1967 the first public meeting in Australia was held in Melbourne on October 21. PWP has now spread to each State throughout Australia
