Our Story
Walking alongside women in our community
Kind Sisters has been responding to community need since 2022 with the arrival of Ukrainian refugees. In April 2023, Australian Kind Sisters Ltd (trading as Kind Sisters) officially registered with ASIC and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission as a benevolent institution with Tax Deductible Gift Recipient status.
Our vision and strategic direction developed over time through our founder's work with women and children in the City of Stirling and surrounding areas and the severe impact of the cost-of-living crisis. Women were seeking connection and safe community, a desire to support each other, to be seen, heard and valued and take active steps towards improving their lives and making a positive impact to the community around them.
We will continue the journey of walking alongside women and showing the strength in kind, compassionate sisterhood.
