providing ongoing 24-hour support and
accommodation for people living with
complex and diverse disabilities.

re-branded to Lighthouse Disability and
have made a number of organisational
changes in readiness for the NDIS. We
are registered to provide services under
the NDIS and welcome enquiries.
As one of South Australia’s larger
disability organisations, we support over
90 people in 30 homes in the north and
north eastern suburbs of Adelaide. Each
client is carefully matched with others
who share their interests and goals and
have compatible personalities.
Our clients – aged in their late teens to
early 60s – live with challenges such as
physical and intellectual disabilities,
autism, acquired brain injury, and
degenerative conditions, with many
having a combination of these.
Our dedicated teams are committed to
working towards improving the quality
of life of each client, ensuring their
safety, happiness, inclusion and long
term security.
