Kurilpa Kitchen West End

Kurilpa Kitchen is funded by grants from the Department of Social Services and managed by Australian Pensionsers and Superannuants League QLD, Inc. This community day respite service helps people of all ages to maintain dignity and independence. We believe that Kurilpa Kitchen is a form of preventative medicine. If people eat well they will stay well and will not become a health statistic.

There are many reasons why people are referred to Kurilpa Kitchen. These range from poor nutritional status to post-hospital support. Many older adults become unable to shop for food and prepare their own meals on a regular basis. In addition to nutritional needs, some seniors experience social isolation and loneliness, especially after the death of a spouse, family member or close friend. Sometimes people visit Kurilpa Kitchen because they need emotional support or simple human contact and conversation. At Kurilpa Senior Citizens Centre, we provide a place for socialisation, activities, and community events.
