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.
Organisation playgroups
Organisation playgroups are run by a variety of not-for-profit groups and have a facilitator who is there to provide support to families.
These types of playgroups may focus on a particular need or vulnerability in the community such as:
- Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, including migrant and humanitarian entrant families
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
- Young parent families
- Socially isolated families
- Families living on low incomes
- Families experiencing mental health issues
- Families with member/s living with a disability (either the parent/caregiver or child).
“I love leading our playgroup because I get to meet new families, build friendships with them, and help others do the same."
