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.
About us
Our Vision
Families with young children and babies are supported to flourish physically, emotionally and socially through their connections to Tasmania’s playgroup community.
Connection & development through play
Tasmania’s playgroups emphasise child development through play while also providing parents and caregivers with resources to support their parenting and connecting them to useful services and each other.
Playgroup Tasmania is the peak body for playgroups in our state. We work with volunteers, community partners and organisations like yours to support families and children during the early years of development.
As part of the Playgroup Australia network, we contribute to, and our members benefit from, the expertise and resources of playgroup peak bodies around the country.
Our programs and partnerships align with Tasmania’s Child & Youth Wellbeing Strategy, its priorities and action plan. Child safety and wellbeing are significant priorities at Playgroup Tasmania, grounded in a co-designed statement of commitment, code of conduct and reporting processes and procedures.
Our history
Playgroup Tasmania is a not-for-profit, state-based membership organisation set-up by passionate playgroup volunteers, managers and families more than 50 years ago
We provide support and resources to assist Tasmanians to establish, co-ordinate, administer and promote playgroups across our state.
Through volunteering and outreach, our members continue to provide and support playgroups in our communities for the benefit of children and caregivers alike.
"I've connected with other parents and interact with them regularly even when we don't attend the group session."
