MyTime is for parents and carers of a child (aged 0-16 years) with a disability, chronic medical condition or other additional needs including developmental delay. It is a funded Federal Government program, run by TAFE NSW, Big Fat Smile and Interchange Illawarra.

An experienced educator from Big Fat Smile and a TAFE teacher lead a group of Diploma of Early Childhood Education students to engage and care for the children, while a trained facilitator runs a group session with parents at North Wollongong TAFE.

You are welcome to stay with your child or join the facilitator in another room and enjoy the company of other parents in a relaxing environment.

At Kids' Uni, we're proud to be a Child Safe Organisation.

We've adopted the National Child Safe Standards and have strong policies and practices in place to ensure every child in our care is protected and supported.

Being a child safe organisation means putting the best interests of children and young people first - always. It's about creating an environment free from physical, sexual, and psychological harm, ill-treatment, and neglect.

As the Office of the Children's Guardian explains:
"A child safe place will have established rules to make sure children and young people are kept safe."

Learn more about the National Child Safe Standards here ➡️

Everything you need to help you become a child safe organisation, including policy templates and samples, resources from our training programs, links to relevant organisations and legislation.
