Karla Kuliny Aboriginal Corporation
Karla Kuliny Aboriginal Corporation is an Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) registered under ORIC and is situated in Boorloo (Perth) on Whadjuk Noongar country. With a clear vision and purpose, we aim to create change in support and service delivery, working with First Nations children and young people, families, and communities.
Our organisation is grounded in culturally strong, child and family focused, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approaches to support the multi-layered challenges faced by First Nations children, young people and families, specifically in the areas of child protection, out-of-home care and youth justice.
Our story
Karla Kuliny was born from Aunty Glenda Kickett’s vision to create a strong organisation that elevates the need for cultural connection to support the emotional needs of First Nations children.
Types of foster care
First Nations children and youth in foster care require culturally safe and strong support networks to support them throughout their lives. From long term, short term to short break care, there are many ways you can make a difference.
Our relationship with carers
Our supportive approach empowers foster carers to understand and respond to children’s needs for healing with confidence and love. With our Therapeutic Team, including care coordinators, specialists, and cultural leaders, you’ll receive a range of tailored support.
