Foreword
It has been a very busy
and successful year for
Kalparrin following the
launch of the new brand
and the direction set
following changes to
the Board. Congratulations to all with a special
thanks to Sarah Flanagan and Shaun Murphy
who will be retiring from the Board after several
years of energetic service, dedication and
generosity to Kalparrin. I also extend a warm
welcome to Christine Stott who comes to
Kalparrin as our new General Manager with a
great reputation from Ngala for her work there.
Well done to all involved in preparing another
full program of activities for our Kalparrin
families. These wonderful events have provided
fun and support for the dedicated parents and
their children .The up and away day that I was
able to attend is a personal highlight and it
was an absolute delight to see the happy and
excited children enjoying this event.
My compliments and heartfelt thanks to all
of the Kalparrin sponsors and supporters
whose generosity has made our family support
program, events and functions possible.
Our Purpose
To make a positive difference to the lives
of children with special needs through the
provision of practical and emotional family
support.
Our Vision
Stronger families; Strong Communities;
Celebrated Achievements
Our values are:
• Give hope,
• Show and give respect,
• Be responsive,
• Be accountable, and
• Empower others.
These values guide everybody’s actions,
communications, and decisions in our
contributions at Kalparrin.
We have plenty to focus on as we move into
the next year, building strong partnerships that
enable Kalparrin to bring additional depth to
our service and support and our move to the
new Perth Children’s Hospital. It is interesting
times in the sector and I look forward to
continuing my support of Kalparrin and being
part of its growth as it continues to provide
much valued support to our families.
The Hon. Barbara Scott, Patron.

From the Chair
During 2014/15 the Kalparrin Board, under the
pro-bono professional guidance of the team at
Ernst & Young, undertook a strategic review of the
operations of Kalparrin with a focus on the current
and future sustainability. The outcome of the
process was fruitful and determined some key and
necessary changes that would support the current
priorities and future growth of our organisation.
One of those changes was the appointment
of a full time General Manager to assist in the
development and implementation of operational
services which would ensure alignment and
delivery against the strategic plan. Kalparrin
welcomed Christine Stott to the General Manager
role in 2015.
In addition, the appointment of a full time Events
and Communications Coordinator has meant not
only are we are able to maintain the standard
of recreational and therapeutic support for our
families, but we can meet the strategic focus of
developing diverse income streams and building
Kalparrin’s profile in the broader community.
These key operational changes have resulted
in enhanced delivery of our services, improved
operational management of all activities, increased
profile within the hospital and broader community,
leadership within the NFP sector and of our
staff and volunteers, better governance and an
improved focus on our strategic objectives.
I would like to thank our staff and volunteers for
their contribution and dedication in supporting our
families. They have assisted our families with focus,
empathy and compassion and have embraced the
challenges and changes of the last 12 months. We
are a very lucky organisation to have such loyal and
dedicated staff and volunteers.
I would like to acknowledge and thank all members
of the Kalparrin Board for their valuable input.
There has been a lot achieved as a result of a great
deal of additional work undertaken by members of
our Board including our vice chair, treasurer, parent
representatives, key influencers and health sector
representatives.
I would like to specifically acknowledge and thank
Jenny Bourke who completed her time on the
Board and as Chair at the end of 2014 and Shaun
Murphy and Sarah Flanagan who will end their
Board term in 2015, we thank these Directors for
their valuable contribution to Kalparrin.
Thank you to our funding partners including the
State Government, Disability Services Commission,
Department of Health, Telethon and Lotterywest, to
the Board and staff at Princess Margaret Hospital,
our corporate partners, including Woodside, Atlas
Iron and Qantas individual donors, suppliers and
friends of Kalparrin.
I would also like to acknowledge the support of our
long standing patron, The Hon Barbara Scott and
take this opportunity to announce that Kalparrin
will extend its patronage with the appointment
of Sarah Flanagan and David Flanagan to join
Barbara as patrons of our organisation. Sarah’s
time on the Board and her passion for the work of
Kalparrin with David, an acknowledged business
and community leader in Western Australia, make
them wonderful additions to this role. Kalparrin is
very lucky to have the support of all three of these
respected members of the community.
In closing, to our Kalparrin families, we commit to
continue to strive to support you when you need
it most, in a timely, responsive and needs based
manner. In turn we thank and acknowledge your
contribution in supporting one another as families
of children with a special needs and Kalparrin
as an organisation. Your bravery, resilience and
approach to the challenges before you as families
is what continues to encourage and motivate us
as volunteers, staff and as an organisation to work
harder and achieve more, so we can in turn pass
that on to you as families.
We encourage anyone who can to support
Kalparrin financially by making a donation. As an
organisation the demand for our programs and
services continues to grow and now more than
ever we need the support of the West Australian
community. To donate visit Kalparrin.org.au

Dollars and Cents
(what it costs and why it’s worth it)
Kalparrin’s investors support our community
through financial contributions, and our volunteers
provide significant time into our organisation. It is
the Board’s and our Leadership Team’s view that it
is extremely important that Kalparrin directs these
resources most successfully into providing effective
and lasting support to our community of families
with special needs children.
Kalparrin is very aware of the great responsibility
entrusted to us by our State Government and
Corporate funding partners, Princess Margaret
Hospital and individual donors who provide
our funding to improve our community, and the
opportunity we have to multiply this benefit to the
community because of the wonderful dedication
of our volunteers who contribute their time and
energy to our community.
It is vital that we ensure our revenue and
capabilities are directed to the right places and
purpose – key to this understanding is consultation
with our members, planning, and measurement.
To honour and preserve this trust Kalparrin is
committed to:
• Carefully considering the impact of allocating
funding to our family support services and
events to make sure they are run to maximise
the benefits to our community and meet the
expected outcomes of our investors in the most
cost effective manner;
• Ensuring that we balance on one hand the need
to keep our administrative costs to a minimum,
but on the other investing a sufficient amount
to make sure people with the necessary skills
and experience and supporting infrastructure
are in place to sustain Kalparrin future and its
goals;
• Engaging with businesses local to where
we deliver our services to the community,
whether in Perth or in regional areas of Western
Australia we deliver services and events.
Through these commitments Kalparrin ensures
that the money contributed to us is applied most
usefully to the services and events we manage
and run for our members and in line with our
commitments to funders.
This year our services have reached over 2600
families. Our Family Support Officers, Siblings
Support Project Management Team, Kalparrin
Families team and other volunteers have provided
approx. 10,600 hours of support directly to our
community.
In the last financial year just 13% of funds
raised were allocated to administration and
sustainment expenses.

our Community
We are very pleased that over 66% of our total
spend is made on suppliers that are very local to
where our services are delivered.
Where does our funding come from?
Government, corporate partners and sponsors and
philanthropic trusts are the major investors in our
Kalparrin community and help us achieve our goals,
each helping us reach more people in more places,
in a more meaningful and effective way.
What do we spend our funds on?
Funding is directed to focused service delivery,
staff or direct event costs, or to developing
sustainable operations through leadership and
governance and robust support infrastructure such
as planning, management, fundraising governance
and contract compliance.

About Kalparrin
Kalparrin is an Aboriginal word meaning “help
carry the load” and has its origins in the vision
and initiative of clinical psychologist, Margaret
Cole. After observing women in the outpatients’
waiting room who were bringing their children to
Princess Margaret Hospital for therapy, Margaret
recognised the need for emotional and practical
support for mothers who were caring for children
with special needs. From small breakfast support
groups grew women’s’ respite weekends and The
Kalparrin Centre, designed to extend the same
support and shared experience to a broader
group of families.
A steering committee was formed in 1987
which oversaw the development of the
organisation. Parents of Children with
Disabilities (later to change to Parents
of Children with Special Needs) was
officially incorporated in 1989 with
Professor Fiona Stanley as Kalparrin’s
founding patron. With support from
Princess Margaret Hospital and Channel
7 Telethon Trust, Kalparrin was able to
expand its programs and services.
Through diversity of income Kalparrin’s main
services now include:
• The Kalparrin Centre,
The Kalparrin Centre
Kalparrin has a comfortable parent lounge with
tea and coffee making facilities, a television and
toys for children in Princess Margaret Hospital. It
offers respite from the wards, somewhere to sit
during appointments or contact with our Family
Support Officers.
Events and Programs
An extensive family event program for mothers,
fathers, grandparents and siblings of children
with special needs that provides time out from
caring roles, opportunities to link with others in
similar situations as well as education and skills
development designed to build resilience and
capacity within families.
Linkages, Information, Support and
Capacity Building
Kalparrin’s Family Support model is designed to
support day to day working, management and
planning for provision of family support in various
contexts and in a safe environment, providing a
platform for families to interact and learn from
others in a facilitated setting.
• Parents, Grandparents’ and Carers’ support
and events,
• Siblings’ support and events,
• Partners’ support and events,
• Up and Away Days,
• Social media community and advice network,
and;
• Provision of information for accessing other
service providers.

The Kalparrin Centre
Individual face to face, telephone and email
support to families providing a range of practical
information and advice regarding support services,
entitlements as well as emotional support for
family carers.
The role of the Family Support Officer is to listen,
provide information, enable decision making
through awareness and choice, and connect
families to appropriate services and supports.
Family Support is a complimentary pathway of
support that does not take the place of clinical
support, nor does a Family Support Officer take on
the role of advisor or counsellor.

In late 2015 Kalparrin will be introducing two new
programs, Growing Up Boys and Growing up
Girls (workshops to support children with special
needs understand puberty) and Strong Families
(workshops for parents and carers to talk about
the challenges of keeping families strong).
Linkages, Information Support and
Capacity Building
Peer support opportunities through the Parent Link
Program (linking families with children with similar
conditions) an online community of special needs
families and the implementation of local regional
support groups that meet informally to catch up
over coffee or for play dates in local parks.
Family Support is focused on the dissemination
of information, linkages and referrals to efficiently
and effectively connect families and carers who
support children with special needs with services,
other families with familiar needs, community
groups and mainstream supports.
Family Support promotes collaborations and
partnerships with local communities, mainstream
and universal services, to create inclusivity and
accessibility for people with need.
Kalparrin is very active in social media and offers
four Facebook communities providing unique
support and opportunities for our members to
connect, buy and sell goods, hear about service
providers or just share the load. As well as a new
Kalparrin open Facebook page started in May 2015
with over 350 members.
Kalparrin

Previously known as WA Special Families this
group is for primary and secondary carers of

Events and Programs
Over the past year 516 Kalparrin family members
have taken part in events and programs.
Events supported Mothers, Fathers, Grandparents,
Siblings, Families (Up and Away Day).
Events were funded by Channel 7 Telethon Trust,
Commonwealth Bank, Impact 100, and Woodside
and were supported by Air BP, Qantas and Perth
Airport.
An online peer support group, Kalparrin Families,
that allows families and carers of children with
special needs to connect anywhere at any time.
Monitored and administered by a dedicated
team of volunteers with documented guidelines,
Kalparrin Families provides instant connection and
an opportunity for shared experience.
In 2015 we made significant changes to our social
media profile and groups. Kalparrin offers four
Facebook communities providing unique support
and opportunities for our members to connect, buy
and sell goods, hear about service providers or just
share the load.
This is a closed group for primary and secondary
carers who support children with complex
physical and high medical needs.
Developed in recognition that Kalparrin
members with children of high medical needs
had different issues than those with additional
needs including the difficulties of frequent
hospital stays and sharing information on the use
of technical supports.
This is a startup Facebook community with 50
members.
Kalparrin Families - Buy Sell Donate
Events have included therapeutic foot massages in
the lounge, Special Families Coffee and Chats, In
hospital Pizza and Information Nights.
A central place for all Kalparrin families to join
together and buy, sell or donate their second
hand goods, particularly those specific to special
needs children.

What do our
members say?
The Kalparrin Annual Client Satisfaction Survey is
an important method for Kalparrin to identify our
members’ needs and review our service delivery.
As in previous years, the survey was distributed
by email to Kalparrin members for whom we
had an email address and 95 paper copies were
posted by mail. We had 131 responses of the
2,054 surveys distributed.
The majority of respondents were mothers (87%),
three quarters were aged 31 to 50 years, and the
majority (85%) lived in the Perth metropolitan
area. Most families had one child with special
needs (72%) and 28% had more than one child
with special needs.
How we connect
Kalparrin is grateful to the Department of Health
Children and Adolescent Health Services and
Princess Margaret Hospital, for allocating valuable
space and supporting the Kalparrin Centre. It is here
that our Family Support Officers are based and are
able to support families through visits to the lounge
as well as well as on the wards, by phone, email
and our website. The need for respite continues
to be in high demand with a growing request for
sibling therapeutic support. Kalparrin is investigating
opportunities for introducing a new, Strong Youth
through Strong Families, program in 2016 to meet
these needs.

The majority of special needs children had
a neurological diagnosis (including autism)
followed by intellectual and physical disability.
Slightly more than a quarter of children had a
chromosome or genetic disorder (27.2%) and one
fifth (18.4%) had a mental health condition, a small
increase in comparison to our previous survey in
2013/14. The children with special needs ranged in
age from infancy to older than 30 years, although
nearly half where aged 6-12 years.
More than a third (37.9%) learnt about Kalparrin
through Princess Margaret Hospital, followed by
17.9% from the Kalparrin Families Facebook group
and a smaller proportion (8.5%) from Local Area
Coordinators. This suggests that we have a good
level of awareness in the hospital and our own
members but that we could improve our networks
in the school, health and child development service
settings.
The majority of respondents visited the Kalparrin
website (55%) or Kalparrin Families (57%)
and nearly half (41%) have been in contact via
telephone or email. A smaller proportion made
contact through the lounge (33%), not unexpected
as visits to the hospital are not a frequent
occurrence for many families. As per the previous
year, social media and on-line peer support is
a growing forum for families and our Kalparrin
Families page is a valuable resource with which
families can engage.
Nearly 90% of respondents found our staff to be
friendly and respectful and more than 90% read
the newsletter. Almost all felt that information
provided was useful and practical. Over 80% were
satisfied or very satisfied with Kalparrin services.
We are encouraged by the feedback but
the responses represent only 6.3% of those
approached to participate in the survey and
cannot represent the views of the whole Kalparrin
membership. We believe that it is important that
members have opportunity to give feedback on
our services and we thank those who have given us
these insights.
During the 2014/15 period there were approximately
2500 client interactions with our Family Support
Officers and we welcomed 494 new members,
bringing our total number of member families to
1694.
Our Kalparrin Friends Facebook group welcomed
676 new members during the period, taking total
membership to 2676. We also started a new
Kalparrin Families High Medical Needs group which
now boasts 50 members. Our open Kalparrin
Facebook has now more than 350 members and
shares Kalparrin and sector information to an open
audience.
We maintained our weekly E-news contact with 45
bulletins sent out reaching 520 more recipients than
the previous year. E-news is circulated to include our
professional members as well as family members
and includes Kalparrin news as well as current and
up to date sector information including events,
conferences, service updates and opportunities to
participate in sector research.

2014/15 Achievements
Kalparrin programs provide the opportunity for
families to share experiences, information and
share the “normal” of their lives with people who
are in the same situation. They also offer a break
away from the routine of daily care and offer a
small window of self time that many outside our
community take for granted.
Events and programs are offered throughout
the year for mothers, fathers, couples, carers,
grandparents and siblings. We adhere to DSC
Disability Services Access and Inclusion Guidelines
enabling families to come together in a relaxed and
supportive environment.
Mothers’ Respite Weekends
Mothers’ respite weekends are the cornerstone of
Kalparrin’s history having been introduced over
30 years ago to give mothers and primary female
carers a break from their family care commitments.
Places at the weekend continue to be highly
sought after and often oversubscribed.
This reporting year we held two weekends in Perth,
one at The Vines in November and the other at El
Cabello Blanco in May. We also held two regional
weekends for the first time, one in Karratha in
August and one in Bussleton in October.
We were able to give 144 mothers the
opportunity to enjoy respite including
self-care sessions, information workshops
and fun activities such as archery,
manicures, reflexology and massage.
We are grateful for the ongoing support of Channel
7 Telethon Trust which enables us to deliver the
mothers’ respite weekends.
“It was an amazing opportunity to
reconnect with activities I had not been
able to do for a long time and to try
completely new things”
“It meant the world to me! I needed time
to myself, time to enjoy, time to rest – me
time! I found some unexpected friends
and connections that will probably last a
lifetime. Very grateful”
Grandparents Breakfast
Grandparents often take on the role of carer
for their special needs grand-children, either
in a support role or sometimes as full time
carers. The support needs of grandparents are
different to those of parents, not only because
of the relationship with the child but also other
considerations such as age, health and finances.
These are all things that are addressed at our
grandparents’ breakfasts, designed to support
attendees with practical information from
representatives of various sector groups as well as
sharing experiences and making new contacts.
51 grandparents were able to attend a breakfast
in November thanks to support from the
Commonwealth Bank.
Siblings Support
Families and siblings of children with special
needs often report disadvantages in comparison
with those of “normal” families. Spontaneous and
planned recreational opportunities and “normal”
family outings are often limited. Kalparrin’s holistic
approach to supporting strong families, from
diagnosis, through treatment and beyond hospital
is consistent with the view that good experiences
can be related to quality outcomes for patient
health.
Our Siblings recreational support included two
events this year. A day program in October and
one in April at the Department of Sport and
Recreation Ern Halliday Camp in Hillary’s. A total
of 60 children attended the events participating in
activities such as abseiling, big swing, crate climb
and origami. Thank you to Channel 7 Telethon Trust
for their ongoing support of this program.
In continuing support for our siblings we are
looking at introducing a therapeutic program,
Strong Youth through Strong Families program in
2016 and a Growing Up Boys and Girls Program,
focused on puberty and adolescence, in late 2015.
“He was so excited before but even more
excited after and can’t wait for the next
one, thank you so much.”
Regional Siblings Initiative
With funding from the Disability Services
Commission Kalparrin has been visiting regional
areas to work with service providers, community
groups and families to identify what siblings of
children with special needs want to feel supported.
The program began in July 2014 and since then
visits have been made to Broome, Kalgoorlie,
Kununurra and Bunbury with Karratha and Albany
scheduled for the second half of 2015. Over 60
regional service providers have been engaged to
date with results from the study helping to identify
what opportunities there are in each region to
support siblings.
Caring Blokes
It is a recognised fact that blokes are not easy to
engage when discussing issues, let alone around
their children with special needs. Kalparrin provides
a ‘safe’, friendly, casual and non-threatening
environment for caring blokes to come together to
learn and share information amongst themselves
and learn new strategies to help themselves and
their families in their journey with their special
children. Kalparrin Dads and Stepfathers of children

Above right: Siblings Support

The groups are arranged through our Kalparrin
Families Leaders, meeting at local coffee shops or
community centers. This year some of the groups
have met for the Perth City Snow Show, and some
have had speakers come to give information on
relevant topics, but mostly, the groups are an
opportunity to catch up and have a good old chat
over a cuppa with people who are accepting and
understanding of how their children may behave

with special needs are all included in ‘Caring
Blokes’ events.
Two men’s shed events were held in March and
February 2015 where participants were treated to
a day of woodworking, admiring vintage cars and
a BBQ lunch. At the end of the day they all took
home some creative masterpieces in the form
of kitchen chopping boards to show their family.
Everyone had a great time and agreed it was good
to have a yarn!
“You realise we’re all struggling with
similar issues, have the opportunity
to network and learn from each other.
Thanks for organising it – really great
ideas and worked perfectly for the dads”
Thanks to Channel 7 Telethon Trust for their
continued support of our blokes events.
Dean Cox
Thanks to Sean Carren of Goldstar Transport,
Kalparrin was able to offer 12 children with special
needs the chance to meet Dean Cox at Domain
Stadium and join him for a tour of the complex,
including the gym. They had the opportunity to
meet with some of the Eagles players and each
child was presented with a signed Eagles jumper.
“I am lost for words as to how excited
and completely in awe my son was of the
experience. He spent the whole evening
admiring his signed shirt and we will all
remember this day forever.”
Pizza Information Sessions
Parents who are in hospital with children for
a period of time often become isolated and
feel disconnected from the world. Sometimes
struggling with a new diagnosis, parents feel at a
loss as to where to turn for support. Juggling the
needs of a sick child and the responsibility of a
family at home can also be a stressful time for both
parents.
The information pizza nights were introduced
once a month for parents on the wards to take an
hour out and share a meal with other parents who
understood the isolation and stress of having a
child in hospital for a length of time. A Kalparrin
staff member was on hand to answer questions,
provide guidance and make connections to other
services that parents had not had the opportunity
to do.
“I just wanted to say a really big Thank
you for listening to me tonight at the pizza
night. When I entered the room I was
made to feel welcome and did not feel
judged by telling my story.”
Coffee and Chats
Coffee and chat groups give Kalparrin families the
chance to meet new people, share experiences and
learn more about life with a special needs child.
The groups help family members and carers meet
informally, but also provide an opportunity to “get
out of the house”. It can be somewhere to feel safe
from harm and prejudice or just an opportunity to
be with others, where people understand.
We are extremely grateful to our Kalparrin
volunteers who support our Kalparrin Families
group, in both metropolitan and regional locations,
and arrange for the coffee and chat mornings.
“Thank you for being here and your
continued support and welcoming spirit.”
Massages in the Lounge
We are most fortunate to have a qualified
reflexologist volunteer her skills to come into the
lounge once a week and offer foot massages and
reflexology to parents on the ward. This year 135
parents have enjoyed the opportunity for this
free session and report that it is a wonderful destressor,
particularly for parents who have been by
their child’s bed for a long period of time. It is not
unusual for some parents to be on the wards for up
to three months, so any opportunity for a little bit
of spoiling is gratefully received.
“After a 15 night stay with my 5 month
old this is a very welcome treat.”
Network and Support Meetings
Kalparrin staff attend meetings within community
to share information about Kalparrin and our role
supporting special needs families as well as finding
information about services and groups share with
families. Staff have attended meetings for My Time,
NDIS My Way, Elimination of Restrictive Practice,
Special Education Groups and hospital support
groups.
Regular activities in the hospital communities
include monthly orientation programs to all
new staff, In-service presentations to on-wards
Up & Away Day 2015
The aim of the Kalparrin Up and Away Day
was to offer a unique experience to 75 special
needs children, accompanied by their carer to
fly at twilight over Rottnest Island and the Perth
coastline on a Qantas jet.
The inaugural Up and Away Day in March 2014 was
followed up with a second event in 2015. With the
kindness, support and generosity of Woodside,
Qantas, Perth Airport, Air BP and Air Services
Australia, our families were given the opportunity
to have this amazing experience. With careful
planning and focused risk management, the day
went ahead as planned and a good time was had
by all attendees, volunteers and staff members.
Children and families were entertained by Fat
Cat, the PMH Clown Doctors and Qantas mascot
Matilda. The children were given calico bags, with
the Up and Away Day logo printed on the side, as
they came up through the aerobridge, which was
full of goodies from Perth Airport and Woodside.
Our post event evaluation has shown that this
event has had a very positive impact on the lives
of the children who attended, and has created a
wonderful memory for them and their families.
Thanks also go to Woodside staff volunteers,
Qantas pilots, crew and staff volunteers, Qantas
Catering and Kalparrin staff who volunteered their
time to make this day such a wonderful event.
“New best day ever. First time on an
aeroplane and it was amazing...in a very
supportive setting.”

The Parent Advisory Group was established in
2014 and is made up of Kalparrin members and
three Board members. The purpose of the group
is to provide an inclusive parent perspective with
regards to the planning, service development and
improvement of services and a sounding board
for decisions, ideas and questions that shape the
future of Kalparrin.
Parental involvement in decision-making is the
key to having policies and programs that support
families’ strengths and needs. The group is guided
by a charter and meets quarterly.
Thank you to our Kalparrin members who have
joined the Parent Advisory Group for your time and
wisdom.
Margaret Cole Award
The Margaret Cole Award has been presented
annually since 2008 to a Kalparrin member Family
whose future could be improved with a small grant
to support their plans for a career, or to study.

Regional Leaders Meeting
Kalparrin volunteers from across the state attended
a two day personal development workshop in June.
Facilitated by Wendy Lamotte, volunteers were
enlightened on topics of leadership, team building
and the importance of good communication. The
workshop was a great benefit in empowering the
team to embark in their roles supporting families
with the skills and motivation required.
A big thank you and recognition to all our
volunteers who contribute their incredible skills
and a huge amount of personal time to supporting
others.
The winner of the award for 2014 was Kim Forshaw
who was presented with a cheque for $2,000 by
Margaret at the Mothers weekend at the Vines.
Recently enrolled into a 3 year degree (part-time)
at Edith Cowan University to do a Bachelor of Arts
- Double major in Psychology she will be able to
buy the necessary resources to ensure the success
of her future goals.
Our 2013 award winner studied accounting
following receipt of her award and that led to part
time employment working in accounts and payroll.
“Our future is looking a lot more financially
secure now and my part time employment
has enabled me to continue with my most
important job of all, caring for my children.”
On behalf of our Kalparrin members we express
our sincere gratitude to Margaret for her ongoing
support to Kalparrin families and her generosity in
funding this award.

Strategic Plans and Future Opportunities
The Board recently reviewed progress against
the 2012 – 2015 Strategic plan and are pleased
to report that the three key strategies have been
addressed:
Strategy 1 – Reform Organisational Structure and
Governance
• Identified constitutional changes made
• Board restructured in line with agreed structure
• Business Development Manager Appointed
(role has now changed to a full time General
Manager)
• A friends of Kalparrin group has been
established under Kalparrin Families
Strategy 2 – Expand Kalparrin Services
• Self-funding opportunities under Family Living
Initiative explored
• Fathers programs better aligned with fathers’
needs
• Siblings program better aligned with siblings
needs. Siblings initiative program undertaken.
• Respite coordinator not required following
review of Family Living Initiative
• Additional Family Support Officer appointed
• Grandparents program introduced
• Health Liaison Officer role changed to Events
and Communications Coordinator to meet
demand for events, need for a broader
fundraising platform and building the Kalparrin
profile.
Strategy 3 – Develop New Services and Markets
• Regional leaders identified in Kalparrin Families
group to support regional expansion. Two
mothers’ weekends delivered in Bussleton
and Karratha and Regional Siblings Initiative
undertaken.
• PMH LINC program is no longer operational
but strong relationships and networks are
maintained throughout the hospital.
The Board has held a planning session facilitated
by Ernst & Young and are in the process of
developing the 2015 to 2018 strategic plan which
will be available by the end of 2015.
Future Challenges and Opportunities
Kalparrin is not alone in the challenges we face
in the changing fiscal climate in WA and we
are aware that we need to adapt changes in
funding opportunities to ensure our programs are
sustainable. We are looking closely at our funding
structure and working on building a sustainable
financial platform into the future. Thanks to
support from Lotterywest we are building a
funding model for Kalparrin which will include a
comprehensive strategic partnership plan that is
aligned to our strategic plan.
NDIS is bringing significant changes to the
disability sector. Whilst the model brings great
value to individualised care it also brings changes
to the way organisations like Kalparrin are funded.
Whilst some of the detail around future funding
under the Information, Linkages and Capacity
Building profile are still to be determined, Kalparrin
remains committed to supporting our families
through the process in the NDIS trial areas and into
the future.

2016 will see the opening of the new Perth
Children’s Hospital (PCH). We are very fortunate
that the Department of Health recognises and
values the work of Kalparrin and has made
provision for Kalparrin’s Family Support program
to remain located in the new hospital. The new
hospital layout will require us to make some
adjustments, including shared office space with
other service providers, but we are committed to
maintaining our dedicated family support services
in the lounge.
We continue to explore opportunities for new
programs to support our families and to broaden
our range of services to meet our growing client
reach. We are excited by the feedback we are
getting from our siblings initiative program and will
look at ways we can develop our siblings support
program to meet contemporary approaches to
supporting siblings needs.
Anna’s story
My name is Anna Ulupova and I have been a
member of Kalparrin for the past five years. My
youngest son had a tumour in his abdomen. We did
not know about it until he had a stroke at 2 months
of age. There was a severe bleed on his brain which
required brain surgery and prolonged life support.
We are very lucky he has survived and the tumour
was successfully removed. He sustained significant
brain damage which caused cerebral palsy, cortical
blindness and severe seizures.
Three years ago he had another brain surgery -
hemispherectomy - where half of his brain was
removed to control seizures. For the past seven
years we have been in and out of the hospital
pretty much all the time - spending up to several
months as an inpatient. Our days are filled with
doctors’ appointments and different kinds of
therapy.
You never think that something like this can
happen to you. These sorts of stories you see on
the TV. We cannot undo what happened to our
son. His disability is permanent. We have to accept
it and learn to live with it. We have to help him to
achieve his full potential, advocate for him and
support him.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. It takes
much more to raise one with special needs. You
cannot underestimate the role of Kalparrin in the
lives of families like mine. When a tragic event
happens, the lives of the whole family changes,
relationships suffer, you lose connection with
the outside world and you get stuck with the
immediate needs of your sick child. You may lose
your friends, your job, your hobbies, yourself.
Kalparrin stops families from drowning by
providing education, support and respite.
Kalparrin helped me and my family immensely.
Kalparrin is located at Princess Margaret Hospital
so we could access help when we needed it the
most. Family Support Officers provided us with the
opportunity to talk, educated us on organisations
and support groups, directed us to funding options
and linked us with other families. We used the
lounge room to take a short break and have a
cuppa away from beeping monitors and later on
to have a safe place to rest while running between
appointments.
Luckily a child with special needs is a rare
occurrence in our society but when you are the
parent of a special needs child you feel very
isolated. Kalparrin runs events for all families to
participate in and meet each other - family fun
days - which we enjoyed a lot. Such days are
a great opportunity for our son to participate
in activities which he cannot access in the
mainstream community.
I feel very grateful to Kalparrin for providing my
family so much needed support during our long
stays at the hospital, education about respite
in the community and for the opportunity to
catch up with other mums I frequently see at the
hospital but never get a chance to talk to (mothers
weekend was a really great event). My eldest son
loves his time at Siblings Days and my husband
enjoyed meeting other dads during the Leeuwin
trip in Fremantle.
Kalparrin cares for such families like mine, I am very
grateful for the support given to my family.

Staff Profile:
Hannah Weizel
I first started with Kalparrin in 2011, volunteering
for a few hours a week. As my children got older I
was able to gradually increase my hours and earlier
this year I was successful in applying for a Family
Support Officer position
I have a Bachelor of Social Science in Human
Services from Edith Cowan University. After
university my now husband and I moved to Alice
Springs where I worked first as an education
assistant and then in childcare. We moved back to
Perth in 2002 and I continued in childcare until the
birth of my first son.
My eldest, who is 10, was born with a significant
birth defect and has had physical and
developmental challenges ever since. He has seen
many departments at various stages at Princess
Margaret Hospital and has spent time in wards 6B,
PICU, Infants (when it was on level 5), and 8, 9 and
5 C. He has also had 8 years of interstate medical
treatment, visiting Sydney Children’s Hospital a few
times a year since he was 2. We also travelled to
Melbourne Children’s Hospital to explore additional
treatments. My youngest son (who is 7) also has
developmental and some physical challenges.
Following the birth of my second son, both boys
were given a diagnosis of a rare syndrome.
I have been a member with Kalparrin for almost
10 years. In the first few years following the birth
of my eldest son, we had multiple appointments
with various departments and I was really grateful
for the Kalparrin lounge where I could wait, grab
a cuppa and let my son play and watch TV. As a
family we have been to most of the Family Fun
Days where the boys have enjoyed all the activities
in a supportive environment. I have also been on a
Mothers weekend and on a couples weekend with
my husband, which provided a much needed break.

Treasurer’s Report
When the winds of change blow, some people
build walls others build windmills. Kalparrin is a
windmill builder!
During an increasingly competitive and changing
funding environment, financially, the last year was
one of strengthening and building adaptability into
Kalparrin.
Kalparrin’s investors and partners – whether
Government, Corporate, Philanthropic Trusts or
individuals - themselves have been challenged by
significantly increased pressures on their budgets.
Also in 2015 there has been a changing landscape
regarding the way that the Federal Government
may in the future fund organisations, like Kalparrin,
that deliver services to support parent and family
wellbeing, information and linkages.
Against this economic background and funding
model uncertainty – the ongoing commitment and
deep understanding of the value of the services
that Kalparrin delivers to our community, by our
State Government, private sector and individual
investors and partners is highly valued, admired
and appreciated by everyone at, or who benefit
from Kalparrin services.
With this wonderful foundation provided by
our supporters we recognise the significant
responsibility and opportunities it represents.
In 2015 we worked very hard to ensure that funding
received by Kalparrin was carefully allocated into
our budgets and then delivered in such a way
as to provide the best outcomes and benefits
to our families and community; and of course in
community results that matches to our funders’
expectations.
Additionally this year we were determined to
build upon work over the last few years to further
enhance our reputation of producing quality
timely reports, including financial acquittals, for
our funders. I am pleased by the positive feedback
received throughout the year on this.
We also focussed on enhancing the systems
Kalparrin uses to deliver more useful financial
reporting and management reports to further
improve our ability to value and assess the services
and events we provide.
In May 2015 we welcomed an extremely capable,
energetic new leader, with Christine Stott joining
us as Kalparrin’s General Manager. We have also
in 2015 welcomed Jenny Saibu as an ‘Events and
Communications Coordinator’, a role we have
asked to have a focus on fund raising.
These two appointments build upon the great team
we already have in place. We are very well placed
with the necessary skills and experience in place to
meet these financial challenges and opportunities.
During the financial year Kalparrin’s operating
income totalled $480,954 with government
funding, and support from Western Australia’s
philanthropic and corporate community providing
the majority of our income. Income in 2015, as
anticipated, was lower than 2014. This is due to the
expiry in 2014 of one-off one-year funding received
in that year; and secondly although the number
of corporate supporters of Kalparrin increased
in 2015, the total corporate funding received
decreased.
Kalparrin has run a small surplus for the year
of $701. Our expenditure of $480,253 was
predominantly made on the provision of services
and delivery of events. Costs were managed
to deliver on outcomes for our families and
community, and funding available.

Notes to and Forming Part of the
Financial Statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
This financial report is a special purpose financial report
prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting
requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act of WA.
The board has determined that the incorporation is not a
reporting entity.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals
basis and is based on historic costs and does not take
into account changing money values or, except where
specifically stated, current valuations of non-current
assets.
The following significant accounting policies, which
are consistent with the previous period unless stated
otherwise, have been adopted in the preparation of this
financial report.
a. Income Tax
The incorporation is exempt from Income Tax.
b. Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are written off in the year of
expenditure
c. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the association’s liability for
employee benefits arising from services rendered
by employees to the end of the reporting period.
Employee benefits have been measured at the
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is
settled.
d. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the association has
a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will result and that outflow can
be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at the
best estimate of the amounts required to settle the
obligation at the end of the reporting period.
e. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
deposits held at call with banks, and other shortterm
highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
f. Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors
Accounts receivable and other debtors include
amounts due from members as well as amounts
receivable from donors. Receivables expected to
be collected within 12 months of the end of the
reporting period are classified as current assets. All
other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
g. Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received or receivable after taking into
account any trade discounts and volume rebates
allowed. For this purpose, deferred consideration is
not discounted to present values when recognising
revenue.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective
interest method, which for floating rate financial
assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend
revenue is recognised when the right to receive a
dividend has been established.
Grant and donation income is generally recognised
in equal monthly amounts over the life of the grant
or donation. Otherwise it is recognised based on
the known expenditure related to the grant in the
relevant reporting period.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and
services tax (GST).
If conditions are attached to the grant that must be
satisfied before the association is eligible to receive
the contribution, recognition of the grant as revenue
will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.
h. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net
of the amount of GST, except where the amount of
GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian
Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables
are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable
or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable
from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other
receivables or payables in the statement of financial
position.
k. Accounts Payable and Other Payables
Accounts payable and other payables represent
the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting
period for goods and services received by the
association during the reporting period that remain
unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current
liability with the amounts normally paid within 30
days of recognition of the liability.
Statement by Members of the Board of Directors
The board of directors have determined that the incorporation is not a reporting entity.
The board of directors have determined that this special purpose financial report should be prepared in
accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 1 to the financial statements.
In the opinion of the board the attached financial report:
1. Presents fairly the financial position of Parents of Children with Special Needs Inc. as at 30 June 2015
and its performance for the year ended on that date.
2. At the date of this statement, there are reasonable grounds to believe that Parents of Children with
Special Needs Inc. will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
This statement is made in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors and is signed for and on
behalf of the board of directors by:
Lucinda Ardagh
Chairperson

Independent Audit Report
to the Members
We have audited the accompanying financial
report, being a special purpose financial report, of
Parents of Children with Special Needs Inc. (the
incorporation), which comprises the board’s report,
the assets and liabilities statement as at 30 June
2015 and the income and cash flow statements
for the year then ended, notes comprising a
summary of significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information, and the statement
by members of the board on the annual statements
giving a true and fair view of the financial position
and performance of the incorporation.
Board’s Responsibility for the
Financial Report
The board of Parents of Children with Special
Needs Inc. is responsible for the preparation of the
financial report, and has determined that the basis
of preparation described in Note 1 is appropriate
to meet the requirements of the Associations
Incorporation Act of WA and is appropriate to
meet the needs of the members. The board’s
responsibility also includes such internal control as
the board determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of a financial report that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the financial report based on our audit. We have
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian
Auditing Standards. Those standards require that
we comply with relevant ethical requirements
relating to audit engagements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the financial report is free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain
audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial report. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement
of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to
the association’s preparation of the financial
report that gives a true and fair view, in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
association’s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the board, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial report presents fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of
Parents of Children with Special Needs Inc. as
at 30 June 2015 and its financial performance
for the year then ended in accordance with the
accounting policies described in Note 1 to the
financial statements, and the requirements of the
Associations Incorporation Act of WA.
Basis of Accounting and Restriction on
Distribution
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention
to Note 1 to the financial statements, which
describes the basis of accounting. The financial
report has been prepared to assist Parents of
Children with Special Needs Inc. to meet the
requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act
of WA. As a result, the financial report may not be
suitable for another purpose.
