Start a playgroup

You can start a playgroup! All you need to get going are:

  • a few interested families
  • a place to meet and
  • some toys and play equipment.

Let families know about your playgroup

Contact us about putting something on our playgroup noticeboard to let other families know about your new playgroup. Have your new playgroup listed on our Find a playgroup database so we can refer families to your group.

Come to a free workshop

We give you a good overview of how to get playgroup off to a good start at our Discover Playgroup training workshops. Find out when this year's workshops are on here.

Invite new parent groups to join your playgroup

Lots of playgroups visit local maternal and child health centres to speak to new parent groups about their playgroup and invite them to join once their sessions at the centre end. More than 300 Victorian playgroups in 67 municipalities are using Playgroup Victoria's free, personalised kits to help with these talks. Kits are only available to Playgroup Victoria members. Email rosanna@playgroup.org.au or call Rosanna on 1800 171 882 ext 141 to find out more.
