Karobran New Life Centre

It's time for a New Direction!!!!

A major component of Karobran’s program is the work training component, which students are required to participate in. This is subject to the abilities of each individual student.

Karobran offer a paid work program, this entails mainly Vineyard Work, with a team of workers going out to work together. Sometimes there is also some other types of work available, they can range from Painting to general labouring work.

Karobran also has an unpaid work program and students are required to work when rostered onto this. This entails the kitchen roster, firewood collection, general duties around the farm and/or any other work that is required.

The work program at Karobran is designed to help the student regain a work ethic, self esteem, and the necessary skills that will be required to re-enter society.

Over the past two years Karobran has been able to offer two ‘Work for the Dole’ Programs. These involved the building of the Teaching Centre, and a complete renovation of Karingal Farm. The students were able to work on these projects, learning new skills as they worked alongside many different Tradesmen. While the students participated in these programs they were able to gain training credits, which can later be used for education or licences, etc. Karobran hopes to be able to offer more of these programs in the future.

Karobran is always keen to find new work challenges and options are kept open for all kinds of different work programs to become available.
