Welcome

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

The association is managed by a coordinator in conjunction with a volunteer committee and its 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.

The SDFA employ the Wollongong Nannies agency to operate our Kooka Kids Club on Thursdays and Fridays at a very low cost to members
