Our Story

K-Life is a community-driven, not-for-profit organisation devoted to innovative healthcare solutions. Located in the picturesque town of Killarney, QLD, in addition to residential aged care, we run a medical centre, a home care service, disability support, and other community-based services.

We aim to foster a climate of innovation and excellence. We achieved a four- and five-star rating for our residential aged care services and have opened a small-scale cottage model of care, a space where resident independence and meaningful engagement are not just goals but realities.
