National Playgroup Week 2026

A celebration of play, community and connection. Each March, families, carers and playgroup volunteers all across Australia come together to honour the joys and benefits of playgroups. It’s a time to thank volunteers, welcome new families and highlight how playgroups support children’s development, build friendships, and strengthen communities. Whether you’re a first-time parent or a long-time playgroup member — National Playgroup Week invites everyone to join in, share, and celebrate the power of play.
