Welcome to MyTime Beaudesert Benevolent

MyTime provides support for mothers, fathers, grandparents and carers who look after a child with a disability or chronic medical condition. MyTime focuses on the carer by giving them time to look after their own needs, gain confidence and form friendships with other carers raising children with disabilities. Our groups meet during school terms, we provide morning tea and an opportunity to talk to other parents, listen to guest speakers and find out about local services. Children under school age welcome. NOTE: The Benevolent Society Beaudesert are subcontracted by Play Matters Australia to hold MyTime sessions at Beaudesert Early Years Centre and Kindergarten, 4 Michaelina Drive, Beaudesert Qld 4285.
