Playgroup Australia is the peak body recognised as the leading voice for playgroups in Australia. Working with our state and territory Playgroup Association members, our vision is that all Australians value the benefits of playgroups to nurture young children, connect families and build communities through play.
Over 145,000 children from 105,000 families meet in 8,300 playgroup sessions every week across Australia. This makes the collective membership base of the state and territory playgroup associations the largest group of families with young children in Australia.
While the state and territory Playgroup Associations deliver playgroup programs and support the families that attend playgroup each week, Playgroup Australia is responsible for the development of nationally consistent frameworks, policies, resources and partnerships.
As Australia’s peak body for playgroups, we are active in promoting the value of play and playgroups, as well as parents as a child’s first educator, through the media and other marketing activities such as National Playgroup Week
