Free Services at Plumtree
Therapy is only a part of a bigger picture for supporting children. If you have developmental concerns for your child or are on a waitlist for support, Plumtree’s free programs can get things started. These services offer early learning opportunities, community connection and practical guidance for your family.
Playgroups
Our free weekly playgroups are available online or face‑to‑face during school terms. Facilitated by Plumtree therapists, they offer fun, interactive experiences that support your child’s learning and social development. They are also a chance to meet our team, ask questions and connect with other families
Learning Together
workshops and courses
Our workshops and courses bring families together to share ideas, build confidence and discover practical ways to support children in everyday life.
Each session provides clear information, real‑life strategies and plenty of encouragement. Workshops are facilitated by Plumtree specialists, guest speakers and trained parent‑peer workers.
Magic Yellow Bus
You can visit Plumtree’s physiotherapist and early childhood specialist at the Magic Yellow Bus. We’re here to chat, answer questions and offer support if you have concerns about your child’s development or disability. We can also help you connect with local early childhood services

MyTime
MyTime is a relaxed group for parents and carers of children with disability, developmental delay or chronic illness. Sessions are facilitated by a trained parent‑peer worker and offer a friendly space to unwind, share experiences and support one another.
eLearning
Learn at your own pace with Plumtree’s online courses for families. Our eLearning programs give you practical, easy‑to‑follow ideas to understand your child’s behaviour, support their learning and strengthen everyday routines. Each course is created by Plumtree early childhood specialists and designed for busy parents and carers.
Some courses are low‑cost, and some recordings are free to access so you can choose the option that works best for your family.
