we champion authentic play experiences

OUR APPROACH

The Outsiders employ a playwork approach.  Our goal is to shape programs, practice and play spaces, ensuring children have access to rich environments with diverse play opportunities. TOPA values freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated play, tailoring initiatives to each community we engage with.

As Play Consultants, we provide Professional Development for individuals and teams, engaging online learning modules, in-field mentorship, and comprehensive play space audits, including the Ludic Ecology Report.

In our capacity as Approved Providers, specialising in the Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) industry, we offer community-based, playwork-inspired OSHC options. Schools seeking to outsource the management of their OSHC program can rely on our expertise.

Throughout our organisation, we aim to foster meaningful play partnerships with individuals and communities who share our passion for play and recognise the numerous benefits it brings. Join us in creating a world where play and community thrive!
