Playgroup Census Week 2024

We have a deep appreciation for playgroups and recognize the positive impact they have on children and families. Playgroup Census Week offers us a chance to show the government how essential playgroups are for families across Australia and within our local communities. During the week of September 2nd-8th, we will be gathering attendance data for all playgroups conducted within this timeframe.

 

Understanding Playgroup Census Week

Playgroup Census Week is designed to track the number of families participating in playgroup sessions.We request the assistance of playgroup leaders and volunteers to ensure all playgroup attendees answer the following questions during Census Week:

• Which playgroup are you attending? (Include location, time, and day)
• How many children are attending with you today?
• Is this the first playgroup you have attended this week?
• What type of playgroup do you attend?

Please note – This census is focused solely on gathering data about attendance, the number of playgroups attended, and their locations. No personal or demographic information will be collected.

 

Calling All Playgroup Leaders and Professionals!

We need your support in preparing your playgroup families for the upcoming Census Week. To help you share this information, posters and a digital art pack are available for download below. Throughout Census Week, all attendees will be asked to log their attendance at playgroup sessions. We kindly request that you encourage participating families to complete the Census. We've made the process easy with a brief, anonymous form accessible via a QR code, which attendees can scan and fill out on the spot. The necessary QR code resources will be sent to you in the final week of August.
