In partnership with DCJ and Parenting Research Centre, we’re excited to bring smalltalk back in 2026.
Smalltalk helps parents build rich home learning environments through everyday interactions such as talking, listening, reading, and playing.
Training includes:
- Virtual manager orientation
- 2-day in-person training on Gadigal Country (Sydney), fully catered.
- 3 virtual coaching sessions
- Free resources and materials to start implementing smalltalk straight away
Regional, rural & remote providers can apply for a $500 travel subsidy.
There are two cohorts for 2026:
🗓️ Cohort 1: 25–26 March 2026
🗓️ Cohort 2: 31 March–1 April 2026
