Playgroup Tasmania is committed to promoting and protecting the safety and wellbeing of all children. Everyone has a role to play in keeping children safe from harm and creating child safe and child friendly communities.
Playgroup Tasmania acknowledges that we live, work and play on Aboriginal land, land of the palawa people of lutruwita (Tasmania). We pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to elders past and present and to all those who continue caring for country, sharing stories and upholding rights.

Thank you
Playgroup Tasmania extends its thanks to the many volunteers and families who make Children's Week fun, safe and welcoming for everyone.
We are also very grateful for the support of the Children's Mayor Program and Neighbourhood House Tasmania for their work on the assessment of the Children's Week Small Grants applications.
The Small Grants Program is funded by the Tasmanian Government, which also kindly supports our use of SmartyGrants to manage the application process.
