Kieser & Kids First Australia Charity Golf Day Wrap-Up
On Monday, 7 April, Kieser teamed up with Kids First Australia to host the 11th Annual Charity Golf Day at Latrobe Golf Club. It was a fantastic day out, with 132 guests—including Kieser members, sponsors and staff—coming together for a great cause. A total of 115 players hit the course, enjoying a fun and friendly 18-hole round of golf.
After a morning on the green, attendees came together for a sit-down lunch and presentation. Kids First CEO Nicole Artico spoke about the remarkable legacy of the event, which has now raised over $300,000 to support vital community initiatives. Thanks to these generous contributions, initiatives like Caring Dads and the Specialist Family Violence Program have made a real difference in the lives of families.
This year, all proceeds will go toward the Family Coaches Program—an initiative offering personalised support to families facing tough times, helping them build stronger, more resilient futures.
Congratulations to the winning team on the day:
Cameron Scott, Michael Donnelly, Simon Dluzniak, and Nigel Carmody.
Total Amount Raised
This year $70,000 was raised to go to the Family Coaches Program.
Family Coaches Program
When parents are vulnerable, feel judged, or have problems navigating complex systems, they can become isolated and unsure where to turn for help. Without the right support, children can miss out on the care and stability they need during their early years.
The Family Coaches program steps in early to change that. Working through local kindergartens, Family Coaches connect with parents who need support, help them access local services, and guide them through the process. They ensure parents have the tools and confidence to get the help they need—now and in the future.
The purpose of this year’s Kieser Charity Golf Day was to help support Kids First in their goal of placing a Family Coach in every early childhood setting in Australia, starting with the new Casey kindergarten.
The 11th Annual Charity Golf Day was not only a great day out—it was a powerful show of community spirit and generosity. Thanks to everyone who attended, took part and supported the event. The funds raised will help the Family Coaches Program continue making a real difference in the lives of families who need it most.
A heartfelt thank you to our clients, guests, and sponsors, those who donated auction items and raffle prizes, and the incredible Kieser and Kids First teams for making the day such a success.
