Lifestart Eastern Sydney participates in MyTime program

A Maroubra MyTime group has been established by Tresillian Family Care Centres in conjunction with  Lifestart Eastern Sydney and Maroubra Bay South Public School, which is where our Lifestart branch is located. MyTime groups provide local support for carers of children with a disability or a chronic medical condition. It provides a chance for parents and carers to come together to socialise and share ideas about experiences and services. For further information contact Lauren on 9344 4081.
