Who we are
Koorana is a community owned non-profit organisation
with strong connections across the communities of
Inner West and South West Sydney.
We are committed to your child and family having
supportive connections, discovering possibilities and
participating to their full potential in all aspects of
family and community life.
Our work is guided by our commitment to self-
determination, access and equity, mutual respect,
collaboration, ethics and integrity.
How we work with you
Our experienced professionals work in partnership with
you to support your child’s learning and development,
and to support you in meeting your goals.
We form a supportive transdisciplinary team around
your child, drawing on our expert Early Childhood
Educators, Specialist Teachers, Speech Pathologists,
Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Social
Workers and Psychologists. You will have a key worker
from the team who will be your main point of contact.
Our team can help you access information and ideas
that assist you and your child at home and in the
community. They can also help you transition your child
into other educational and community settings, and
can link you to other services. Our team can arrange
for an interpreter if you need.
“They teach me simple
things to help my child,
which make a big difference
to my child, family and life.”
“The home-based program
opened up a whole new
world for us. We were shown
so many achievable ways to
help our special boy.”
