At Orana, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live with purpose, dignity and independence. For more than 75 years, we’ve been providing trusted disability support services in Adelaide and across South Australia, creating pathways for people with disability to reach their goals and thrive within their community.
Our team takes the time to understand each person’s aspirations, strengths and needs. Whether it’s finding the right home environment, developing new life skills, or gaining meaningful employment, Orana’s tailored approach ensures support that genuinely fits.
What are Disability Support Services?
Disability support services are programs and assistance designed to help people with a disability live more independently and participate fully in everyday life. These services can include help at home, transport, personal care, supported accommodation, social activities, community access and employment support.
The goal is simple: to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling, self-directed life – surrounded by people who care, and supported by professionals who understand their journey.
At Orana, we see disability support services as more than just practical assistance. It’s about creating real connections and empowering people to make choices that reflect who they are and how they want to live.
Here are the Types of Disability Support Services We Provide
Our disability support services in SA cover a wide range of programs designed to meet people at different stages of their lives and levels of independence.
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Our SIL options help people live comfortably in a shared or individual home, with personalised support available day and night. We help with everything from daily routines and meal preparation to developing the confidence to manage household tasks independently.
Orana’s community programs give people the opportunity to connect, build friendships and explore new interests. From art and recreation to skill-building workshops, participants enjoy structured, supportive environments that promote social inclusion and personal growth.
Through supported employment, Orana provides meaningful job opportunities across our diverse range of business enterprises. These workplaces are designed to empower people with disabilities to learn, develop and contribute their talents in a safe and supportive setting.
We offer flexible assistance tailored to each person’s daily needs; whether that’s help with personal care, cooking, shopping, or managing household tasks. Our focus is on maintaining dignity and supporting choice, always respecting the individual’s preferences and routines.
The Benefits of Disability Support Services
Engaging the right disability support services can have a life-changing impact, not only for individuals but also for families and carers. Here are some of the key benefits Orana’s clients experience:
- Greater independence: Our services are designed to build skills and confidence, helping people take charge of their own lives. From living arrangements to community involvement, we provide the tools and encouragement needed to live more independently.
- Improved wellbeing and connection: Social inclusion is vital to emotional health. Through Orana’s group programs and community participation, people develop friendships, strengthen communication skills, and enjoy a sense of belonging.
- Personalised, flexible support: No two people are the same… and neither are their goals. Orana’s team works closely with each person to develop a tailored plan that fits their lifestyle, needs and aspirations.
- Respite and peace of mind for families: Knowing that a loved one is supported by trained, caring professionals brings relief and reassurance to families and carers. Our holistic approach focuses on both the participant’s wellbeing and the family’s overall quality of life.
- Pathways to employment and independence: Employment opportunities can transform lives. Through Orana’s supported workplaces and training programs, participants gain valuable experience, purpose and a sense of contribution.
