Overview

MyTime is a time for you. Being a parent is an important job. It’s easy to get caught up in looking after your child’s needs, but looking after yourself is important too. MyTime is a place where you can unwind, feel understood and share ideas and experiences with others who understand and access quality information and resources.

MyTime organises supported groups for all parents and carers of children under the age of 18 who need a higher level of care than other children. This might be because of disability, chronic medical condition, or other additional needs including developmental delay. MyTime members come from different backgrounds and their children have different abilities and needs.

A trained facilitator helps group members get to know each other and learn more about local resources and support services. By talking about their experiences and listening to each other without judgement, members share their highs and lows, including how they have navigated challenges. Through this, they build connections with people in similar situations, which can lead to an increased sense of belonging and wellbeing.
