Kindness Factory

Kindness Factory was created by Australian Kath Koschel whose life spiralled into despair and darkness without warning.

A former professional cricketer and Ironman competitor Kath Koschel has faced unimaginable hurdles. In her twenties she broke her back and was told she may never walk again. Shortly afterwards she lost her partner to suicide. Then piecing her life back together she was hit by a 4WD and learned to walk again a second time.

Kath launched Kindness Factory on 13th November 2015 to encourage people to show kindness to themselves and others. Kath Koschel was awarded 2025 NSW Australian of the Year.

The movement has now grown into a registered Not For Profit organisation operating across Australia and the USA as she continues to strive from kindness everywhere she goes.
