In our Community

The KWILS team love to be a part of com­mu­ni­ty events — whether it be NAIDOC Week, Youth Week, Pride Fes­ti­val, Com­mu­ni­ty Fes­ti­vals and Expo, or com­ing along to vis­it playgroups.

We bring along inter­est­ing and engag­ing activ­i­ties to run at events for women and chil­dren to start con­ver­sa­tions about gen­der equal­i­ty, and how KWILS can work with you, your fam­i­ly and community.

Please let us know if you have any events hap­pen­ing, or would like to part­ner with us for an event, by email­ing info@​kwils.​com.​au or Siobhan.​Mackay@​kwils.​com.​au
