More about Sing&Grow Familylinks is excited to collaborate with Play Matters to deliver the Sing&Grow Music Therapy program. Sing&Grow is an evidence-based music therapy program for families with children aged from birth to five years. During our playgroup sessions, a Registered Music Therapist will lead you in singing, dancing, and playing instruments with your child. We use familiar and original songs to help you learn new ways to support child development through playing together and having fun! 

Familylinks is funded through Mission Australia’s Communities for Children initiative, made possible by the Australian Government .
