Disability Services
Learn to build the life you love, feel supported to make it happen.
In-Home Support
In-home supports are designed to help you achieve those every day, regular tasks that get you ready for the world each day and get things done.
We have a growing team of skilled support workers and mentors with varied skills and interests to support you with these tasks.
Our In home support services are available in the southern and northern suburbs of Adelaide, from Sellicks Beach to Munno Para.
Whether you require a few hours of support each day or just a few times each week, our support team can assist with things like:
- Day-to-day routines
- Personal care
- Medication administration
- Meal preparation
- Domestic assistance
- Behavioural support
In the spirit of person-centred supports, our team will generally work alongside you to complete a task, rather than for you, so that you are involved and in control of as much as you can be.
We understand there may be times that you experience overwhelm or exhaustion however, and its in time like these that our staff are there to bridge the gaps and ensure you remain connected
and in control of your daily life.
Community Participation
Getting out and being a part of your local community is a valuable part of life because it gives you an opportunity to find belonging and feel connected.
Our team are ready to do that with you. We can support you to use public transport or provide transport in our support team can assist you with things like:
- attending appointments
- attending community events
- pursuing group activities, or
- simply getting out and about
Thinking beyond disability, we take pride in supporting you to become engaged in your local community. We encourage you to make connections throughout the community that will offer ongoing opportunities for social engagement and informal support when you need it.
The team at Legacy Lifestyle Supports are also proactively engaged in the community to promote disability awareness, role-model inclusive engagement for all, and networking with a diverse range of people and services, so that we are well placed to have the connections or referral resources you need!
Group Support
Designed to economise your funding and encourage social engagement, we offer a range of group services for all ages. At any given time the type of groups we offer vary in response to community feedback and may include:
- after school/evening social clubs
- social outings for various ages
- skills building programs
Groups are a great way to share, connect with and grow with people in a similar situation to you. Legacy Lifestyle Supports offer group programs and social supports that promote opportunities for learning and for sharing skills and traits others can learn from.
While most of the groups are available for casual bookings, our take on a Day Options program is offered as program of support and runs during the school term.
Like many others, we recognise that the old take on day options programs is typically not as person-centred or inclusive as they should be. Learn about our genuinely engaging program here.

Therapy and Behaviour Support
Counselling
It is important to have a trusted person you can work with to navigate life’s challenges and learn emotional coping skills. Our team of counsellors at Legacy Lifestyle Supports offer a service that is disability and NDIS aware, and can meet with you for face-to-face appointments in our Morphett Vale office or in the community where you feel most comfortable.
Participants using their NDIS funding will be supported to set counselling goals that relate to your disability and skills development so that effective reports can be delivered when required for NDIS plan reviews.
Our team also offer counselling for parents and carers of people with disabilities as an NDIS service or a private fee-for-service option.
Our counselling services are delivered in accordance with recommendations from the Australian Counselling Association and NDIS Price Arrangements Guideline, meaning that our fees and standards for delivery of counselling services are the same for everyone, regardless of who the client is, or how they are paying for it.
Behaviour Support
Sometimes people with disabilities use unsafe or destructive behaviours to communicate or get their needs met. Positive Behaviour Support is a model of support that aims to encourage safe and functional ways for people with disabilities to engage with their loved ones and the wider community.
The purpose of a Positive Behaviour Support Plan is to communicate to the support team around the person, how to effectively engage with the person in a safe and effective way, and how the person prefers to be supported in order to achieve their best, and live a good quality life.
Our team of behaviour support practitioners are registered with the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission and work with clinical supervisors to continuously update and improve their knowledge and skills in delivering PBSP that maintain a Human Rights approach and minimise the use of restrictive practices. We back these support plans up with training for support teams and ongoing review and referral as needed to ensure a wholistic and inclusive approach is maintained.
These supports are available in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, with clinic-based supports in Morphett Vale and support in your own environment easily negotiated to suit your needs.
