What is a Supported Playgroup?

Supported playgroups are facilitated by a Council worker and a health professional from Better Health Network.
They are free. You'll be offered light-on parenting advice and strategies. Sessions follow the Smalltalk program’s structure, covering several different topics every week, including the below:

  • Tuning into Children
  • Child-led Play
  • Listening and Talking More

Further details

Time: 10 am to 12 pm, every Wednesday during school term. Groups do not meet during school holidays.

If this time does not suit you, please note we run another session on Mondays in St Kilda.

Location: South Melbourne Community Centre, 1 Ferrars Place, South Melbourne
