Meet Brooke Lowry, our dedicated General Manager. With over a decade of experience in the community service sector, Brooke brings a compassionate and empathetic approach, as well as a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by vulnerable community members. She is certified in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) for disabilities and families and can provide training to others.

Brooke's exceptional people management skills make her an expert in stakeholder engagement, playing a crucial role in leading KTS towards its mission to support the NDIS community in the Kimberley region. As a specialist support coordinator, Brooke is passionate about working with participants and their families to achieve their goals and make a positive difference in their lives.

Having lived in Broome for the past 18 years, Brooke has no plans to leave as the Kimberley region has stolen her heart. In her free time, she loves spending time with her family and is often found at the local dance studio, supporting her children and dancing herself.
