Service to Others Leave – Giving Back beyond work – (Full-Time Employees)

At Kukoon, Service to Others isn’t just a principle—it’s a heartfelt commitment that permeates everything we do. It’s about creating a ripple effect of care, empathy, and connection, impacting the lives of not only the participants we serve but also the team members who make it all possible.

Our commitment to service extends beyond the workplace. We believe in giving back to the broader world and that’s why we offer dedicated leave for service to others. Whether it’s supporting people, caring for animals, or protecting our planet, Kukoon encourages its employees to make a positive impact. This initiative reflects our belief that giving back not only helps those we assist but also enriches our own lives in profound ways.

Working at Kukoon is more than just a job; it’s a calling. It’s about being part of something bigger than us, where each day brings new opportunities to spread kindness, foster understanding, and bring light to those who need it most.

A Heartfelt Testimonial about service to others

“For me, one of the most rewarding experiences has been visiting an elderly lady each week who has no family or friends. Through these visits, I’ve witnessed how the smallest acts of kindness can spark immense joy and restore a sense of purpose for someone who might otherwise feel forgotten.

Whether we’re reminiscing over her favourite memories, helping her stay connected to the world outside her door, or simply sharing a quiet moment over a cup of tea, these times remind me of the profound impact of compassion and presence. It’s in these simple but meaningful moments that lives are truly touched.”

At Kukoon, these acts of care are more than encouraged—they’re celebrated. Our organization empowers us to build connections that matter deeply, offering the tools, resources, and encouragement to make a lasting difference.

From Janelle Davey – NDIS Operations Manager

Being part of Kukoon is not just fulfilling—it’s transformative. Together, we’re creating a world where connection and care change lives, one meaningful moment at a time.
