Best Start Guidelines
The Best Start Guidelines 2005 document has been developed as a project resource for those interested or involved in the Best Start project.

The Supported Parent Groups and Playgroups Guidelines
The Supported Parent Groups and Playgroups Initiative is a commitment by the Victorian Government to increase access to and participation in Supported Parent Groups and Playgroups for children and families who are vulnerable and isolated within our communities. The Government has provided $2.6 million over four years for Supported Parent Groups and Playgroups as a part of its commitment to giving children the best start in life.
The initiative is being developed in the municipalities where Best Start demonstration projects were established in order to consolidate the work of Best Start partnerships in relation to playgroups. This approach recognises that the existence of a Best Start partnership is likely to improve the effectiveness of implementing a new initiative such as this.
