Mytime Officer

MyTimeThe MyTime program is an initiative funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS) and coordinated nationally by the Parenting Research Centre (PRC). It is a facilitated peer support group that promotes connection to other families and their community.
Down Syndrome Victoria (DSV) is MyTime's sole Victorian delivery partner.
The MyTime program has a region-based delivery structure. This ensures consistency in the geographic spread of services and provides greater clarity around service delivery expectations.
DSV delivers 40 groups, allowing us to connect and offer support to parents and caregivers across the state.
https://www.mytime.net.au/. MyTime groups are conducted by a facilitator who is responsible for leading parent discussions on various topics throughout the term. Pre-school children can attend the group with their parents/carers, (including siblings) where a play helper engages the children in meaningful play experiences. The play sessions run concurrently, so that parents/carers can participate and engage in the discussion and participate in group sessions and activities.
This exciting role, the MyTime Officer is responsible for providing support and guidance to group in their region, ensuring the smooth running of MyTime in accordance with PRC and DSV policy, procedure and guidelines.
