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.

Andrea Romero

Playgroup Development Practitioner, South

Andrea has worked with community organisations for more than 6 years, focusing on families, children and volunteers. She has experience designing and delivering programs that promote social connection, wellbeing and participation through the creation of welcoming spaces where families feel supported and included.

Andrea values environments where both children and parents can feel free from judgement and where parents feel supported to be the parent their child needs.

As a mother of two young children herself, she has personal experience of the positive impact nonjudgemental environments have on families and is motivated to create these spaces for all playgroup families.

"I love having the acceptance and support of other parents with no judgement: I know that I’m not alone when things are tough."
