MyTime Marrickville

MyTime is a space where you can connect with other parents and carers of children with disability, developmental delay, or neurodivergence—aged 0 to 18 years.

At MyTime Marrickville, you’ll be supported by our parent-peer workers, who understand what it’s like because they’ve been there too. Together, you and other members help shape the sessions around what matters most to you as a carer. Some childminding is available for preschool-aged children when booked in advance.

If you’re not based in Sydney or can’t visit our premises, you’re warmly welcome to join the group online. Simply select the ‘joining online’ option when registering.

What you might do during MyTime:

Chat over tea or coffee – Take a moment to slow down and catch up with others. You can talk about your week, share ideas, or just enjoy a relaxed chat.
Learn something new – Sometimes the facilitator or a guest speaker will guide a conversation about a topic you’re interested in.
Take care of yourself – You might join a fun or calming activity designed to support your wellbeing.

Each session is different, and there’s always space for you to ask questions or talk about what’s important to your family.

MyTime Vietnamese • MyTime Việt

Connect with other Vietnamese-speaking parents and carers of children with disability, developmental delay, or concerns about development in a relaxed and friendly space.

Facilitated by Vy Phan, Plumtree’s Vietnamese Family Support Worker, these sessions offer a chance to share, learn, and support each other—among people who truly understand your journey.

You’ll enjoy warm conversations and, at times, guest speakers on topics chosen by the group. It’s your time to pause, connect, and feel supported away from the busy world of appointments and therapy.

Hãy kết nối với những phụ huynh và người chăm sóc khác đang nuôi dạy con có khuyết tật, chậm phát triển hoặc có mối lo ngại về sự phát triển của trẻ—trong một không gian thân thiện và thoải mái.

Các buổi gặp gỡ được dẫn dắt bởi chị Vy Phan, Nhân viên Hỗ trợ Gia đình người Việt tại Plumtree. Đây là cơ hội để bạn chia sẻ, học hỏi và nhận được sự hỗ trợ từ những người thật sự thấu hiểu hành trình của bạn.

Bạn sẽ có những cuộc trò chuyện gần gũi và đôi khi có diễn giả khách mời, với chủ đề do nhóm lựa chọn. Đây là khoảng thời gian dành riêng cho bạn—tạm rời xa lịch hẹn và trị liệu, để thư giãn, kết nối và được tiếp thêm năng lượng.
