Inclusion starts with people like you
Together, we can help create a future where no child is left behind.
No Child Should Be Left Out
Imagine being the child left behind when the rest of the class heads off on an excursion.
Imagine watching other children make friends while you sit on the sidelines.
Imagine not being invited to join the game.
Imagine feeling like you don’t belong.
For too many children with disability and developmental differences, exclusion, loneliness and feeling left out are part of everyday life.
Imagine if this was your child.
Imagine having to fight for something as simple as your child feeling like they belong.
Behind these statistics are children missing out on friendships, confidence and the simple joy of being included.
Behind these statistics are families carrying the heartbreak of watching their child struggle to find a place where they are welcomed, understood and accepted.
For 50 years, Koorana has been helping children and families experience what every child deserves: belonging, participation and opportunity.
We have seen what happens when children are welcomed, supported and included. Children build confidence. Friendships grow. Families feel supported. Futures change.
But we also know that too many children are still being left out.
As we celebrate our 50th year, we are looking to the future and asking an important question:
How can we help more children experience the benefits of inclusion, even beyond Koorana?
The answer lies in sharing what we have learned over the past 50 years.
That is why we are developing the Koorana Integrated Practice Toolkit – a practical resource that will help educators and services create more inclusive environments for children of all abilities.
Your Support Can Help More Children Belong, Participate and Thrive
The Toolkit will capture and share the practical tools, resources and strategies behind Koorana’s inclusive approach, helping educators and services create more welcoming and supportive environments for children of all abilities.
By sharing what works, we can help more children experience:
- A sense of belonging
- Meaningful friendships
- Opportunities to participate
- The confidence to thrive
This tax time, your donation will help us develop practical inclusion resources through the Koorana Integrated Practice Toolkit and extend the impact of Koorana’s inclusive model beyond our own programs and into communities across Australia.
Together, we can help create a future where inclusion is not the exception, but the expectation.
A future where more children are welcomed, supported and included.
Please make a tax-deductible donation before 30 June and help more children experience what every child deserves: the chance to participate, make friends, build confidence and belong.
Because every child deserves to belong.
