JINDI Enquiry Form

About the JINDI program.

The Brotherhood of St Laurence (the Brotherhood) supports families in the local Mernda area with children aged 0-5 years. We aim to build parent capacity to improve parent-child relationship and family functioning so children can thrive. We focus on a capabilities approach with parents to harness strengths and develop skills through coaching and self-determination practices.

Please complete the form to express your interest in participating in Jindi Playgroups. Please note that due to high demand, we kindly request that each family requests only one group based playgroup at this stage to ensure fair access for all.

(Parents are welcome to request Individual Parenting Support or Preparing for Prep Appointments in addition to a group based playgroup enrolment).

Families will receive confirmation of their place along with a registration form. If you need support to complete the registration form, our staff can make an appointment with you to complete this.
