Participant Chris was in his element on the weekend at the International Legends of League game here in Innisfail. Shaking hands and getting a photo with local legend Billy Slater would have definitely made it a night to remember!
We hope you had a wonderful night, Chris. Thank you for sharing your photos with us! 😊

I spy with my little eye, a couple of ratbags on the loose in the streets of Innisfail! 👀😊

Community access is vital for our participants, it helps to foster independence, prevent social isolation, and improve physical and mental well-being.

We love doing what we do, and being able to share this journey with all of you. Thank you, for allowing us into your lives. If you or your loved one needs support, don't hesitate to reach out to us today. 🌸

Our director, Shona, has BIG plans for this year. 😁
Shona will soon be studying her Diploma in emergency health care through the Australian Paramedical College. Just the first step to reaching her dream of becoming a paramedic. 🥳
Don't worry, she's not going anywhere, she will still be heavily involved with Kura Support and all of you, too. 🥰

However, if running a company, raising a newborn, and also studying a diploma wasn't enough, Shona has also decided to step it up and help raise much needed funds for the royal flying doctor service to assist with getting more, much needed, mental health services to those living in rural and remote regions!

This cause means a lot to Shona, not just due to the nature of this company, and our wonderful psychosocial clients we provide support to, but also because Shona herself has had first hand personal experience with mental health, needing support, and facing barriers and roadblocks to be able to receive that support. 💕
Please throw your support behind Shona and hit that share button, or donate if you wish.
Goodluck to our director, we hope you reach all of your goals! 👏👏👏👏

I'm going further this March and I need your help! I've registered for the Fit to Fly Challenge, a month-long challenge to raise vital funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. I've challenged myself to walk 3km a day in March to keep the Flying Doctor flying. Please support my challenge today by d...

Hi Kura Family!

Shona here, in the thick of it with this beautiful little girl. 😊
Just a quick one to say i hope you all had a marvellous christmas and new year, and thank you for your well wishes when Calliope was born. She's an absolute joy and we are so very blessed. 💕

Some may have already noticed, but i am back from maternity leave at a REDUCED capacity. My phone and email is back in action should you need me. I am available. I am not, however, coming back on for active support shifts just yet. But I am excited to be back in the office, liaising with our staff, clients and stakeholders.

Rachael and Matt and our rostering champion, Becky, have done a marvellous job keeping things running and i am proud and lucky to have such a great team.

Here's to 2026 🥳 I am excited to see what this new year brings, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Best wishes,
Shona. 😊

As with every year also, if you would like to cancel your usual support over the Christmas period, especially the public holidays to save funding, be sure to let us know in advance so you aren't charged for those days!
