75 Years of K-Life: A Legacy of Local Care and Connection
Celebrating Our Story
This year marks a milestone worth celebrating—K-Life’s 75th Anniversary. For over seven decades, we’ve stood beside our community through change, growth, and challenges, always anchored by one mission: helping locals live life better.
What began in 1949 as a small local initiative has grown into a trusted, not-for-profit organisation that continues to walk with people through every stage of life. From home help to NDIS support, dementia care to companionship, our roots in Killarney have shaped who we are—and where we’re going.
Stories That Shaped Us
To honour this anniversary, we’ve looked back just as much as we’ve looked forward. And one of the most powerful ways we’ve done that is through story—specifically, the release of a beautifully written book by local author and historian Lyndall McCormack.
Her new book, launched as part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations, captures the heartbeat of K-Life. Through stories, photos, and personal accounts, Lyndall shines a light on the people who shaped this organisation and the moments—big and small—that defined our journey. It’s more than a history book—it’s a tribute to the care, courage and community spirit that has sustained us for three generations.
Copies of the book are available through our office, with all proceeds going back into local community programs.
Help Starts Here—And Has Since the Beginning
Our recent “Help Starts Here” campaign echoes a message that’s been part of K-Life from the beginning: support should be accessible, personal, and close to home. Whether it’s a referral card in a local business, a conversation at the kitchen table, or a visit from one of our team members, we’re here when people need it most.
As we celebrate this 75-year legacy, we also look ahead—with new services, deeper community connections, and the same commitment that’s guided us from day one.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Here’s to the next chapter.
