More Info
KARI Aboriginal Resources Incorporated (KARI) was established in 1999 as a not-for-profit community organisation based at Liverpool in Sydney's South West. KARI was founded to address the needs of the Aboriginal communities within the region as at the time there were virtually no Aboriginal community services operating in the area. KARI provides an Aboriginal Out-of-Home Care Program as well as a Community Program for the Aboriginal communities within Sydney's South West.
