Local knowledge. Professional care.
KI Nursing and Care is led by Sitar and Sam, registered nurses who live and work on Kangaroo Island.
Sitar grew up on Kangaroo Island and chose to return with Sam to raise their family here. That connection to the island and its community is at the heart of KI Nursing and Care.
We understand the strengths and quirks of island life, including the distances, relationships and practical realities involved in arranging care. Together with our local team, we provide personal support shaped around each person, their family and their circumstances.
Our aim is simple: dependable care that helps people remain safe, independent and connected to their community.
