Co founders, Ken, now semi-retired, and Sandy, a nurse, moved from Perth to the coastal town of Jurien Bay. They purchased 300 hectares next to a nature reserve as part of their tree change.

It was the lack of a caring network for joeys in the area, that prompted the couple to look after their first joey in 2002.

Our dedicated committee members volunteer their time and bring unique skills and experience to the Association. They work in different occupations, such as local and state government positions, farmers, nurses, business people and home carers.
