Berwick Family

Families in Berwick can share stories outdoors, join a local playgroup, arrange school-age care or connect with services for development, wellbeing and family relationships. Nearby and Casey-wide programs also give young people practical ways to find activities, counselling and support.

📚 Play, stories and early learning

Connected Libraries – Storytime in the Park

Enjoy songs, stories and shared reading in the outdoor setting of Wilson Botanic Park, Berwick. This recurring early-years series has dates listed through December 2026, giving families a relaxed way to build reading into time together. Check the event listing before attending to find the next session and any current participation details.

Berwick Anglican Church Playgroup

Parents can meet other local families while children aged 0–4 take part in structured activities. The playgroup runs from 10 am to 12 noon on Mondays during school terms and occasionally hosts parenting speakers. The published cost is $30 per term, with a $10 annual registration charge; confirm current arrangements before joining.

Berwick Church of Christ Playgroup

Young children and their parents can explore craft, painting, dress-ups, outdoor play, playdough and music together. Sessions follow Victorian school terms and public holidays. Families need to submit an expression of interest or contact the church to ask about a place, rather than assuming they can attend without prior confirmation.

Little Unicorns Playgroup – St Margaret’s Berwick Grammar

Children from birth to school age can attend with a parent or caregiver at the school’s Early Learning Centre in Gloucester Avenue. In 2026, the playgroup runs on Fridays during Terms 1, 3 and 4. Participation requires enrolment confirmation, a completed registration form and the child’s Immunisation History Statement.

City of Casey Maternal and Child Health playgroups

These free sessions serve families with children aged 0–5 in Berwick and elsewhere across Casey. Along with play and opportunities to meet other families, parents and carers can book Maternal and Child Health appointments, raise developmental concerns and find early-years information. Contact the council’s playgroup team to discuss a suitable session or arrange interpreter support.

🎒 School-age care and youth activities

Berwick Primary School OSHC

Children aged 5–12 can access before-school and after-school care based at Berwick Primary School. Holiday and pupil-free-day programs are also offered, which may help families manage care outside regular classroom hours. Check holiday-program eligibility, available places and booking requirements directly with OSHC before making plans.

City of Casey Youth Services

Young Berwick residents aged 10–25 can connect with council-run groups, events, activities and free confidential youth counselling and support. A teenage school-holiday program is available for ages 10–17. Locations and availability vary across Casey, so review the current program information and confirm where each activity will be held.

🌱 Child development and family wellbeing

Windermere – Mighty Munchers Berwick

Mighty Munchers is an eight-week feeding group for children aged 3–5 and their parents or carers. It is designed to support food exposure and families navigating picky eating. Sessions are held through Windermere’s Berwick office at Timbarra Community Centre; ask about upcoming group dates and the enrolment process.

The team also supports schools. Families can discuss which practitioner or service may suit their circumstances when making an enquiry.

Berwick Paediatric & Family Specialists

This private paediatric and allied-health practice provides general paediatrics, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and dietetics for children and families. It also offers autism, ADHD and cognitive assessments. Confirm appointment arrangements, practitioner availability and fees directly with the practice before attending.

Berwick Counselling & Psychology

Child, adolescent and family counselling is available through this Berwick clinical psychology practice, alongside its adult services. Parents and carers can contact the practice to discuss appointment arrangements and whether a particular psychologist’s experience is suitable for the child, young person or family seeking help.

💬 Relationships and youth mental health support

Berwick Family Relationship Centre – Relationships Australia Victoria

Separating or divorcing couples and adult family members can access family dispute resolution, also known as mediation. The centre also provides information sessions, workshops and referrals. Appointments are required, and the centre states that it is not a crisis service, so check the access process and suitability before relying on it for assistance.

headspace Narre Warren

This nearby service supports young people aged 12–25 and their families from Berwick and surrounding areas. Free, confidential assistance is available in person, by phone and online for mental health, physical and sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, and work or study. Young people may self-refer or be referred by another person; current waiting times can vary.

✅ A few checks before you go

• Confirm age and eligibility: programs have different age ranges, school connections and enrolment conditions.
• Book where required: ask about vacancies, wait times, intake steps and whether casual attendance is possible.
• Check supervision: playgroups generally involve a parent or caregiver, while care and youth programs have their own arrangements.
• Discuss access needs: contact the provider about disability access, communication support, sensory needs or interpreter assistance.
• Verify current costs and dates: term schedules, holiday activities, group intakes and fees can change.
