About Us
Karuna is a Brisbane-based charity established to help people live a meaningful and happy life while embracing uncertainty and change.
Life is our most precious possession, its loss our most difficult yet inescapable experience. Karuna believes that having the skills and support to face the challenges and uncertainty can make the journey easier.
As a result, we have developed models of care and education which help people understand, prepare for and face the end of life with calm and acceptance.
Since 1992 Karuna has used its expertise and compassion to help thousands of individuals and families cope with loss. We provide in-home care, counselling, education courses and have a bookshop full of useful resources. We take the time to understand your needs and provide a holistic approach to delivering the best possible support.
We offer in-home care in Brisbane North, Caboolture and Redcliffe areas. In addition, helpful information is available. Most of our counselling and courses are run out of Karuna at 27 Cartwright St Windsor.
In serving the community Karuna strives to follow the inspirational ideals and examples set by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Karuna’s Spiritual Patron, whose own lifelong mission is to serve others with universal compassion and kindness. These are Karuna’s underlying values.
Karuna relies heavily on the kindness of others. Only a portion of our funding comes from Queensland Health and the remaining money must be raised through donations. Community support is vital. Please donate today!
