About

Playgroup Australia Limited is the national peak body that champions the importance of playgroups for children and families across Australia. They advocate for early childhood development through play, provide resources, and support state and territory playgroup organisations to ensure all Australian children have access to quality play experiences.

Tips for Applicants

Playgroup Australia is a service delivery organisation and peak body, not a grant-making foundation. They do not accept unsolicited grant applications for funding external projects. Engagement would typically be through partnerships, collaboration, or participation in their programs.

Giving Philosophy

As a service delivery organisation, Playgroup Australia's philosophy centers on promoting the social, emotional, and cognitive development of children through play. They believe in fostering community connections, supporting parents, and advocating for policies that enable accessible and high-quality playgroup experiences for all families.
