Welcome

Welcome to the Shoalhaven Defence Families Association Inc. (SDFA) website.

The association is managed by a Coordinator in conjunction with a volunteer Committee as well as members. They come together each week (during school terms) to run activities such as Playgroup, craft groups, Courses and Training. These activities and more are run at the Association’s community centre Kookaburra Retreat (Kooka), which is located on Canberra Drive (off Albatross Road) just outside of HMAS Albatross.
