About us

At Koomarri, we support people with intellectual disability to achieve their life goals, dreams and aspirations. To make this happen, we have an amazing team of dedicated professionals who support people to have a great life.

Our team puts people with a disability and their families first. They look for opportunities and experiences that truly make a difference in a person’s life. At Koomarri, we support the human rights principles, diversity and inclusion. 

We are a local, grassroots organisation that has been an integral part of the Canberra community for decades. We are looking for people who are passionate about helping others and getting involved in a range of local activities.
