As we know, working and living in a remote part of Australia has its challenges (as well as its rewards).
We are distant from many resources meaning we need to lean on one another for support more often than not. This is what keeps us distinct from our metro-counterparts, and keeps the Kimberley thriving. We all collaborate and work together to find the best solution. But, when that solution – such as support worker services, other NDIS supports and even medical attention – cannot be sourced locally, it makes people consider whether living remote is right for them.
With our news, we hope to make it a little easier for people to live and flourish in the beautiful Kimberley region. So, without further ado: we will be taking our services East.
East Kimberley, that is. We’re expanding into Kununurra!
Due to the astronomical growth of Kimberley Care Group over the last year, it’s about time we expanded our services and supported those who live in even more remote areas than Broome.
Read on for more details.
When can you start supporting the people of Kununurra?
From today – 2nd August, 2023 – Kimberley Care Group is open for business in Kununurra.
Who will be the right people to contact?
Leading the East Kimberley arm of the business will be Jose Angós, Area Manager, with the support of Tahnee Anderson. Jose has an extensive background in mental health support, home care, crisis management and disability supports.
KCG is super proud of Jose’s commitment to the cause, his integrity and natural capabilities within a leadership role mean that he’s the perfect person to take on this challenge.

What services will you offer?
Right now, the services we are providing are:
These supports can be accessed through your NDIS funding.
We also offer Palliative Care support and services through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).
Where is your office going to be based?
Our office is based on Ghost Gum St, Kununurra WA 6743. Make sure you pop your head in to say, “hello”.
We want to support as many people as possible, so make sure you get your referrals through as soon as you can. Currently, we have full capacity to take on many referrals. But that won’t last long.
This is a new chapter for KCG as well as a new opportunity for those who live in the East Kimberley. We hope through this expansion of services, many more people will have the ability to access high-quality community support services. Right on their doorstep.
