Kookaburra Kids 

The Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation provides evidence based, age appropriate, prevention and early intervention mental health education programs to young people aged 8-18 years who are living in a family impacted by mental illness.

Designed by mental health professionals, our Camps, Activity Days and online Connect Sessions are proven to empower young people to thrive beyond the impacts of family mental illness.

Delivered within a peer-based, social, and recreational setting, our Kookaburra Kids programs aim to provide connection, improve mental health literacy and encourage help seeking behaviours.

Kookaburra Kids programs and camps are free and are now available to Defence families.  You do not need a diagnoses of a mental health condition as previously stated.

Please contact Jacqui D'Castro on 0455161080 or by email at jacqui.dcastro@kookaburrakids.org.au for more information.

I would like to wish you all a very safe and happy holidays and looking forward to seeing you all bright eyed and bushy tailed for Term 3.
