The flat now has a new bedroom to accommodate staff who cater to children with a disability.
The Springett House property was first built in 2006 with four bedrooms to provide weekday and overnight respite as well as living and learning programs for people with disabilities.
Soon there was more demand for overnight respite and in 2008 the Kollege of Knowledge for Kids Kommittee (KKKK) renovated the garage and turned it into a granny flat.
The flat increased the respite options for carers of children who needed only short daytime respite.
The KKKK then helped raise the funds to enable the renovations needed for the granny flat
Interchange Australia has been providing respite, funded by the Australian Government, for carers of people with disability for over 30 years.
Since its inception, the KKKK has raised more than two million dollars for children with disabilities from fundraising efforts including the annual Gentleman's Lunch, Ladies' Lunch and the ASDESI/KKKK Goulburn to Bowral Bike Ride.
Interchange Australia thanked the KKKK for its ongoing support.
The official opening will be on Wednesday, March 2 at Springett House at 5pm.
