Meet Our Team
The organisation is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected at the Annual General Meeting. Directors serve on an honorary basis. To nominate to be a Director, one must meet the criteria of the Constitution. The facility employs over 85 permanent and part time staff in areas of nursing, carers, administration, hospitality, maintenance and operations. Many volunteers assist in areas such as transport, chaplaincy, activity support, meals on wheels and gardening. The main fundraising arm of the organisation is the Killarney Auxiliary.

The Auxiliary funds are primarily used for medical and equipment upgrades.
