As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on a truly wonderful year at MyTime, filled with growth, connection and a shared sense of community. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to the incredible facilitators and play leaders who have made their programs safe, inclusive and welcoming for all.
A huge thank you also goes to our amazing members. Without your continued support and peer connections, this program would not be possible. Your contributions and engagement make MyTime what it is – a community built on mutual support, respect and care.
With 40 groups across Victoria, it’s been an extraordinary year, packed with a variety of activities that have nurtured self-care, creativity and wellbeing. From relaxing massages and soothing yoga sessions to henna art, tai chi and movie days, we’ve truly embraced the joy of looking after ourselves. Highlights also included outings for lunch, paint and sip sessions, swimming, and a wealth of arts and crafts.
We’ve also been fortunate to host a range of brilliant guest speakers, who shared their knowledge on topics that matter. From school refusal and behaviour support plans to sensory processing, young carers, NDIS reviews, and the art of being assertive, our guest speakers have brought valuable insights and advice that have supported our community in meaningful ways.
Our sincere thanks also go to our wonderful partners for their ongoing support. A special mention to:

Wishing you all a safe and joyful holiday season!
