WA Kidney Kids Capers

Henry Giblett Adult Holiday Dialysis Program - held annually in Busselton, WA
Founded in 1995 in memory of Henry Giblett who offered a holiday home in south-west Busselton equipped with a haemodialysis machine, for people to have a break from the daily grind at their renal unit.
KHA dialysis services are done at the St John's Ambulance Centre, opposite Busselton Hospital. Sixteen families enjoyed these six days at camp. Family activities include welcome dinner, excursions to Wonky Windmill Farm and Eco Park, Busselton Drive-In, pizza night, bush tucker tasting -the list goes on.
This Adult Holiday Dialysis Program is sponsored by LotteryWest who also support our Kids Capers
KHA funds accommodation and organises dialysis facilities needed for patients on holiday. Many families are unable to take holidays because of dialysis - a dialysis driven timetable affects the whole family, not just the patient.
Our WA Office needs your help to expand patient support programs!
