We meet in the Ballarat East Neighbourhood House Community Room at Barkly Square (Rm 102). Different toys from the Ballarat Toy Library are available to try out each week. Meet other families in a relaxed environment. This playgroup is running in partnership with Deaf Victoria and welcomes families hearing and non-hearing, verbal and non-verbal to come and enjoy some social time together. This playgroup will have staff and volunteers that use Auslan. There will be additional information and support for families with Deaf or Hard of Hearing children, parents or siblings.

Book Group - Term 4 - 2026

Join our casual, monthly Book Group.2nd Thursdays of the month (during school term) - 10.30 am - 12 noon

At our Café there is no guest speaker, no advice given, no call for action. Instead, you’ll find a supportive, facilitated conversational space for people to gather and share thoughts and feelings in response to the climate crisis. Here you can voice concerns that may not be welcomed or echoed elsewhere in your daily life. You’re invited to share with interested others how you’re really feeling at this challenging time.There may be laughter, there may be tears. There may be fear, there may be anger. Whatever you’re feeling is okay and valued. And it’s fine just to listen. Sharing, listening and being quiet together are all part of our Café.Gerry Fahey and Susan Nelson are the facilitators, having both completed the Climate Café training provided by Psychology for a Safe Climate.Term 4, 2026 dates:<ol><li>5 October</li><li>&nbsp;2 November</li><li>7 December</li></ol><p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgba(244, 245, 247, 0.19);'>Registration<p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgba(244, 245, 247, 0.19);'>Scroll down to register.
