Quarter 1 of 2024 has seen our operations extend right across the Kimberley. We have spent the first part of the year focussing on recruiting and developing local community members to deliver sport and recreation in their home communities.

Our Kimberley Active Communities Program (KAC) operates throughout the Kimberley. The program has multiple focuses. Firstly, to encourage young Indigenous people to engage in a healthy and active lifestyle through their regular participation in sport and recreation; secondly to build the capacity of Kimberley communities at an individual and collective level; to deliver sport and recreation themselves.

“We really want to try and encourage healthy lifestyles, even though it’s nice to sit at home and play video games over the school holiday, we want to give as many kids as possible that option to get involved with sport”.
