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.

Find the playgroup that's right for you

There are many different types of playgroups and programs available in Tasmanian communities.

Which one is right for you?

Community Playgroups

Community Playgroups meet once or twice a week for up to two hours in venues such as community centres, halls and parks. They are organised and run by parents and volunteers in your community with support from Playgroup Tasmania in the form of training, information, visits and ideas for creative play ideas.

Early Support and Inclusion programs

Does your child have developmental delays or disability? We have safe, warm, welcoming and adaptable playgroup options to suit you and your family.

Organisation Playgroups

Organisations such as not-for-profit community groups, child care agencies, Family Day Care Schemes and Churches that run their own playgroups and already hold insurance coverage, may affiliate with Playgroup Tasmania and hold an Organisation Membership.

Intergenerational Play

In partnership with aged care services, retirement villages and other community organisations, Intergenerational Play bridges generational gaps, fosters meaningful connections and creates cherished memories through engaging play.

Baby Village playgroups

Baby Village playgroups support families with children who aren’t yet walking to connect so everyone in our communities can flourish.

"Playgroup provides an opportunity for parents to interact and create social connections, which can be incredibly challenging at this stage of life if you don't have established family/friendship networks around you."
