Did you know about the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule?
The schedule is a series of free, recommended vaccinations for children aged 0 to 4 years. The Australian Government Department of Health delivers the childhood immunisation program to protect children from serious diseases.

Children can receive these vaccines for free if they are on a Medicare card or are eligible for one.

Talk to your GP, child health nurse, local pharmacist, or other vaccination provider if you have questions about vaccinations.

For more information, visit: health.gov.au/childhood-immunisation

Childhood vaccination information, FAQs, and videos in English and 12 other languages is available here:

🎉 55 years of Darlington Family Playgroup 🎉

What a lovely morning celebrating 55 years of community, connection and volunteering! Our Development Officer Amy joined past and present committee members to recognise the volunteers who have helped shape Darlington Family Playgroup over the years, thanks to support from Volunteering WA.

A highlight was meeting Jane and Trudy, two of the women who helped build the playgroup into what it is today. Their stories, memories and ongoing commitment to their communities were a wonderful reminder of the lasting impact volunteers make.💛

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Darlington Family Playgroup over the past 55 years. Here's to many more years of supporting local families! ⭐

Turn old cereal into sensory fun! 🚜✨

Crush some Weet-Bix into a tray, add a few toy construction vehicles, and watch the play unfold. From scooping and digging to building, exploring and turn taking, there are endless possibilities for little learners.

Sensory and imaginative play like this encourages curiosity, creativity and hands-on learning, all while having fun! 💛

⭐ Looking for supported play opportunities? PlayConnect+ offers free playgroups for children with disability or developmental delay, with no diagnosis needed. Our facilitators set up engaging activities like this to support children and families through play.

Playgroup WA is pleased to be part of the WA Play Strategy Advisory Committee, contributing to the development of Australia’s first state-wide strategy focused on play. Play is fundamental to children’s learning, development and wellbeing. It also creates opportunities for connection, belonging and stronger relationships within families and communities.

As a member of the Advisory Committee, Playgroup WA will help bring the voices and experiences of families and communities to the development of the strategy. We look forward to contributing to this important initiative and helping ensure every child in Western Australia has the opportunity to thrive through play.
