COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Empowering Our Local Communities
At KCU, we believe strong communities are built through genuine partnerships, shared opportunities and a commitment to working together.
We are proud to work alongside Indigenous and remote communities across Western Australia, supporting initiatives that reflect local priorities and create meaningful, lasting benefits.
From education, training and employment opportunities to community projects, partnerships with Indigenous businesses and hands-on volunteering, our commitment goes beyond the work we deliver.
By listening, collaborating and building strong relationships, we aim to make a positive contribution to the communities we work with and support their aspirations for the future.
Looma Eagles Football Club
KCU is proud to work alongside the Looma community and support the Looma Eagles men’s and women’s AFL teams.
In partnership with the CFC Foundation, and with the support of the local community, we helped transform the club’s facilities through the refurbishment of the changerooms and installation of a new kiosk, helping bring home games back to Looma.
For the community, this project represents much more than improved facilities. It’s about bringing people together, strengthening community spirit and creating opportunities for families to gather, celebrate and support their local teams.
The Eagles men’s team reaching the preliminary finals this season was another fantastic achievement and a proud moment for the entire community.
Watch the video to see how collaboration, community spirit and a shared vision helped bring football home to Looma.
BRIDGE WORKSHOP
Building Regional Indigenous Development, Growth and Engagement
In 2026, KCU launched the BRIDGE workshop initiative in Broome to help local Indigenous participants build the skills, confidence and readiness needed to pursue employment in the resources and infrastructure sectors. The workshop was developed after recognising a gap between people applying for site-based roles and being site ready with an understanding of basic workplace expectations.
The five day BRIDGE workshop focuses on:
- workplace readiness and industry expectations
- safety awareness and site requirements
- building confidence and practical employment pathways
- connecting participants with future training and job opportunities
- strengthening relationships between industry and community.
BRIDGE reflects KCU’s commitment to developing lasting local capabilities – not simply filling short-term workforce needs. Eight locals completed the course and it has already resulted in three participants progressing into paid employment with the next workshop scheduled for early 2027.
