Kilmany UnitingCare is an agency of the Uniting Church, incorporated under the Uniting Church in Australia Act 1977.

We have over three hundred staff who provide community based services such as foster care, family counselling, family day care, youth work, family support and financial counselling.  We provide governance for the Daniel Gunson Memorial Homes - fifteen independent living units in Bruthen - and twenty six kindergartens throughout Gippsland.

In addition,  we provide respite options for people of all ages who have a disability, and a comprehensive range of accredited child care services, including child care centres in Lakes Entrance and Mirboo North.  Over six hundred children across Gippsland use our Family Day Care services, and three hundred volunteers support the work we do.

There are visiting services to remote areas throughout Gippsland, and community development activities aimed to strengthen individuals and rural communities.  These include suicide prevention, capacity building activity with Koori organisations, and programs specifically aimed at education, employment and empowerment for young people.

 The strategic underpinnings are to address poverty, indigenous disadvantage and early childhood development.

A significant role in 2007 and beyond is working with drought, fire and flood affected families and communities.  We also have twenty community aged care packages, we have facilitated more than twenty indigenous jobs in East Gippsland and extended our involvement with kindergarten management and early childhood services across Gippsland.  On June 30th 2008 we merged with Remote Family Services UnitingCare.
