K-Life Auxiliary Gives $3,000 to Drive to Care: Community Supporting Community

Strengthening local care through community support.

K-Life is proud to share some exciting news — the K-Life Auxiliary has generously donated $3,000 towards our Drive to Care campaign. This contribution is another example of how deeply the Auxiliary supports our work and how strongly they believe in strengthening local care.

Their donation brings us closer to our goal of raising $78,000 to purchase and fit-out a dedicated Community Health Outreach Vehicle. This vehicle will allow our nurses, allied health team and medical staff to reach people who can’t always reach us — from isolated older residents to busy young families. It’s about getting essential healthcare to people where they feel safest and most supported: their homes.

The Auxiliary’s long history of giving and community leadership continues to make a real difference. Their support helps us deliver more than kilometres on the road — it helps us deliver connection, dignity and care to the people who need it most.

We’ve updated our donor records, notified our leadership team, and shared the news with our community because contributions like this deserve recognition. They remind us that K-Life’s strength comes from the people who stand with us and believe in what we’re building for the region.

If you’d like to support the Drive to Care campaign, every donation — big or small — truly helps drive real care into our community.

A heartfelt thank you to the K-Life Auxiliary for their generosity and ongoing commitment to local care.

Killarney and District Community Connections Expo Brings Community Together

By Dannielle Hersant • June 12, 2026

Connecting people, strengthening partnerships and supporting a more resilient community. On Saturday 30 May 2026, the Killarney Recreation Club came alive with community spirit as more than 400 people attended the inaugural Killarney and District Community Connections Expo . Proudly coordinated by K-Life and the Killarney Co-op and supported through the Southern Downs Regional Council Community Recovery and Resilience Program, the Expo brought together more than 40 community organisations, service providers, businesses, sporting groups, emergency services and volunteer organisations, all with a shared goal of strengthening connections across our region. The event provided local residents with the opportunity to discover the many services, activities and supports available throughout Killarney and the surrounding district. From healthcare and aged care services to volunteer groups, education providers, sporting clubs and community organisations, the Expo showcased the incredible range of support networks available within our community. One of the key aims of the Expo was to improve awareness of local services and create opportunities for people to connect with organisations that can support their health, wellbeing and community involvement. The event also highlighted the important role volunteers play in keeping our community vibrant and connected. Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed meeting local service providers, collecting information, entering lucky door prizes, participating in community surveys and learning more about opportunities available within the district. The K-Life Men's Shed sausage sizzle and refreshments helped create a welcoming atmosphere where conversations and connections could flourish. The Expo was also an important opportunity for organisations to network with one another, strengthening referral pathways and fostering new partnerships that will benefit the community long after the event has concluded. Community survey data collected during the event will assist K-Life and local stakeholders to better understand community needs, identify service gaps and support future planning initiatives aimed at improving health and wellbeing outcomes across the region. K-Life would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the Expo, including exhibitors, volunteers, sponsors, community groups, local businesses and attendees. Special thanks go to the Killarney Co-op, our volunteers, and the many organisations that gave their time and expertise to support the day. The overwhelming response from the community demonstrates the value of bringing people together, sharing information and strengthening local connections. At K-Life, we believe that strong communities are built through collaboration, and the success of the Killarney and District Community Connections Expo is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when communities come together. We look forward to continuing these conversations and building on the partnerships and connections formed through this event.
