What is a Playsession?
Remote Area Mobile Play Session Services operate in the remote areas of NSW.  They offer structured early childhood sessions for 0 to school-aged children.  They play a major part in the social and educational infrastructure in remote areas.  Services may travel up to 2 hours to a venue and travel up to 40,000km per year.  Some services travel to small towns and stay overnight, visiting properties on their way to and from these small towns, on a weekly circuit.  Because the parents themselves often travel up to 1.5 hours to get to venues (Often local properties where they take turns to ‘host’ a session), they are usually present at the sessions and parents generally have care of the children.  Attendances range from a few children on a property to up to 30 children at a play session in a small town (plus their parents).  These services offer early childhood activities ranging from group work to one on one support as well as assisting parents on child rearing issues as well as community networking issues.
