Why attend a first-time parent group?

Becoming a parent for the first time is both exciting and challenging. Wyndham City Council’s parent groups provide a supportive space for new parents to connect, share experiences, and learn together. Many participants form lasting friendships while gaining practical guidance and confidence in their parenting journey.

What parents say

“Your sessions were incredibly helpful—not only for the information shared, but especially for the kindness and patience you showed in listening to our worries and new experiences. That compassion made a real difference. Even when my child is grown and in her 30s, we will still remember you with gratitude and appreciation.” Mum of baby R

“Just a little update from us—we are all still such good friends and catch up all the time. We are forever grateful we met each other at parent group.” Mum of baby A

“Thank you again for the first-time parent group We just celebrated our babies’ first birthdays together, still catch up regularly, and even do swimming lessons together!” Mum of baby J
