Mr Jeyakumar said he looked forward to bringing his fresh vision to reinvigorate Kira Incorporated through a period of change.

“It feels like the completion of a full circle for me, as I will returning to work alongside many people I worked to support at the beginning of my career two decades ago,” he said.

“The serendipity of this situation reinforces my aims to help lead Kira Incorporated into the changing world of community services, and I look forward to working closely with the Kira Council to continue achieving excellent outcomes for the communities we work with.”
