SIBs Club

Koorana’s SIBs Club is a recreational program for children aged 7-12 years who have a sibling with a disability and/or developmental delay. It provides children with a variety of experiences and gives them the opportunity to meet other children who share a similar lived experience.

About us

We organise activities though the year, giving kids a chance to have fun with games and activities.

Attending SIBs activities, your children will:

  • Gain a better understanding of the unique challenges of having a sibling with a disability;
  • Engage in fun activities in a safe space;
  • Make new friends; and
  • Develop confidence in their unique contribution to family life.
