Australian Camps Association Accreditation
Kindilan Outdoor Education and Conference Centre was recognised in December 2007 as a centre embracing best practice through achieving the nationally recognised Australian Camping Accreditation.
We are proud to be accredited by the Australian Camps Association Camping with Confidence Accreditation program. Accreditation indicates that we have been independently appraised and meet the core requirements for the safe and reasonable operation of a camp or outdoor activity provider.
We are one of two campsites currently in Queensland who hold this recognition (10th Jan 08).
Our
Philosophy and Values
Kindilan
is an aboriginal word meaning “place of joy”. Here
at Kindilan
Outdoor Education and Conference Centre, ‘joy’ is
certainly the underlying spirit of everything we do.
Kindilan
provides quality programs and services, and you can really feel
how well our people enjoy their work and being there for all
of our clients. This atmosphere is often commented upon by visitors
to the centre, and so we have tried to summarise it into a Kindilan
philosophy. This philosophy stems from our manager (Bec)'s embedded
positive nature and is actively driven by the team and incorporated
into our professional approach.
Our
Philosophy
We’d
like to share our secret of success and joy with you:
 Work
made fun gets done!
So our people have fun, and the sound of laughter and enjoyment
reverberates anywhere where Kindilan staff can be found! As
taken from a famous quote (source
unknown), "We don't stop laughing because we get old; we
get old because we stop laughing!"
Kindilan embraces laughter and fun.
We
aim everyday to make someone’s day
(or moment) through a small act of kindness or a
memorable interaction. It’s our commitment to all our
clients and to ourselves. It makes us all feel
like
better citizens and passes a warm fuzzy feeling around us all.
It’s like passing on a smile or
stopping
before we go home to make sure all guests are comfortable and
well settled into camp.
The
glue in humanity is in being fully present
for one another. We commit to being fully there for
others when asked, and no task is done half-heartedly. We take
time for each and every
individual
who is around us.
We
amplify a positive attitude. The hang-ups are left outside the
front gates!!! We remind
ourselves everyday
that we choose our attitude. Kindilan chooses
a helpful, co-operative and
positive attitude.
With choosing our attitudes and responses to what life brings,
we can look for
the best and find
opportunities we never imagined possible.
Our
Values
This
philosophy is underpinned by the following values, evident in
the workplace and in the delivery of our services:
Respecting
our doorsteps and our shared backyards
Pioneering
spirituality (within self, social interaction and environment)
Empowering
individuals to make choices
Self
directed learning: a ‘coaching’ culture
Adventure:
the uncertainty of outcomes
Challenge by choice
Risk
management and safe practice
Partnering
with clients

Safety
and Risk Management
The
Kindilan site has inherent risks associated with being a “rural
site” with shared facilities.
We are committed to providing you with a safe and comfortable
experience at Kindilan. We keep abreast of all current developments
in health and safety, and implement best practice procedures
within all areas of our service, including our accommodation
and conference centre, campsite facilities and outdoor education
programs.
As part of our
commitment to safety, we have detailed risk management plans,
regularly reviewed safety procedures, and a fully qualified,
accredited and competent team of employees with current first
aid certification.
