Playgroup Tasmania is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children. We have zero tolerance for abuse and promote a shared responsibility to protect children from harm. We uphold children's rights and comply with relevant child safety laws and standards.
Community Playgroups – Parent & Volunteer Led
Community playgroups led by parents and volunteers usually meet once or twice a week for up to 2 hours in venues such as community centres, halls and parks. Playgroup Tasmania supports these groups to get started and to deliver quality experiences in safe, welcoming spaces.
Community playgroups are run by volunteers and do not have a paid leader or facilitator. These groups often collect a small fee to cover their running costs. All funds are reinvested into the playgroup.
As part of their registration, Parent & Volunteer Led Playgroups must participate in the Growing Together quality assurance process.
Volunteers who do not have children in their care at the playgroup can be involved through Playgroup Tasmania’s formal volunteer program.
"It's helpful seeing that kids do things at all different stages and each baby is different, so you don’t compare."
