Living independently looks different for everyone. At Sharply Enabling Disability Support Services, our supported independent living services are designed around your goals, your routines, and your vision for the future. Whether you need assistance with daily tasks, want to build new skills, or are preparing for the next step toward greater independence, we provide consistent, personalised disability support in your home and community.
We work alongside NDIS participants across Greater Adelaide to create support that genuinely fits your life.
Our approach to supported independent living centres on one question: what does a good life look like for you?
For some participants, that means mastering everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, or managing a morning routine. For others, it’s about building confidence to eventually move into their own place or a sharehouse. Whatever your goals, our disability support services are structured to help you progress at your own pace with workers who understand your needs.
Sharply Enabling DSS provides in-home support across Adelaide’s northern, southern, eastern, and western suburbs. Our team includes experienced support workers who are carefully matched to each participant based on skills, personality, and communication style.
Everyday tasks can feel overwhelming, especially without the right support. Our daily living assistance helps you maintain independence while building confidence in managing your home and personal care.
We provide respectful, dignified support with showering, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Our workers take time to learn your preferences and routines, ensuring you feel comfortable and in control.
From planning meals to cooking together, we help you develop healthy eating habits that suit your tastes and dietary needs. Whether you're learning to cook for the first time or need hands-on assistance, we adapt to where you're at.
Keeping a home running takes effort. We support you with cleaning, laundry, bed making, and grocery shopping, either working alongside you to build these skills or providing direct assistance when needed.
Our team can provide medication reminders or assist with administration as outlined in your NDIS plan, helping you stay on track with your health routines.
Structure matters. We help you establish and maintain consistent daily routines that support your wellbeing, from getting ready for the day to winding down at night.
Beyond individual tasks, we work with you to develop sustainable routines and habits that support your overall health, independence, and quality of life.
Getting the most from your therapy programs doesn’t stop when your appointment ends. Our therapy-based support helps you continue the work between sessions, so the skills you’re building with your allied health team become part of your everyday life.
Every hour of support should move you closer to your goals. Our team understand this. Rather than simply filling time, we focus on purposeful activities that align with what you're working toward in your NDIS plan. This approach helps you get real value from your funding and see genuine progress in the areas that matter most to you.
Your therapists design programs for a reason, but progress happens when those exercises and strategies are practised consistently. We support you to carry out therapy activities in the environments where you actually live, work, and spend time. Whether it's practising communication strategies at the shops, following a physio exercise routine at home, or working on sensory regulation techniques before community outings, we help bridge the gap between therapy sessions and real life.
Our support workers take direction from your therapy team to ensure consistency in how your programs are delivered. We collaborate with the professionals guiding your care, including:
This collaborative approach means everyone involved in your care is working from the same page. Your support workers receive guidance on specific techniques, strategies, and goals, so the support you receive at home reinforces what you’re learning in therapy rather than contradicting it.
True independence comes from learning skills you can carry forward. Our capacity building supports focus on practical life skills that open doors to new opportunities.
We provide hands-on training in cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and using public transport. These sessions are tailored to your learning style and goals, whether you're starting from scratch or refining existing skills.
Learning to plan your week, prioritise tasks, and work toward personal goals builds confidence that extends into every area of life. We help you develop these skills through practical application and ongoing encouragement.
From everyday choices to bigger decisions, we support you to think through options, weigh up outcomes, and build confidence in your own judgment.
Moving into independent living or a new living arrangement is a significant step. We provide dedicated support to help you learn new routines, navigate unfamiliar environments, and adjust to change with confidence.
Our onboarding process is designed to ensure you feel confident and comfortable from the very first meeting.
We begin by getting to know you. This includes understanding your goals, routines, preferences, communication style, and the type of support that feels most meaningful to you. We discuss the specific supports you're seeking and any unique needs or personal boundaries that matter to you.
Based on our conversation, we identify team members whose skills, experience, and personality align with what you're looking for. You'll have the opportunity to meet potential workers before committing.
Before supports commence, we arrange a meet and greet so you can connect with your proposed support workers personally. The choice of who joins your team is completely yours.
Once supports begin, we continue to check in regularly. We want to ensure our team remains aligned with your values and that your goals and preferences continue to guide our approach.
We know how important it is to work with familiar faces. Our rostering prioritises consistency so you can build genuine relationships with your support team rather than meeting someone new each week.
Our team includes university students, parents, and dedicated full-time support workers. Each brings unique strengths, but all share a commitment to building therapeutic relationships that create real, lasting change.
We charge in line with NDIS price limits with no hidden fees or surprise invoices. You'll always know what to expect.
Our work is guided by trust, compassion, empowerment, and respect. We treat every participant as an individual, not a number on a roster.
Supported independent living (SIL) is NDIS funding that helps participants with daily tasks in their home. This can include personal care, household tasks, skill development, and overnight support. The goal is to help you live as independently as possible while receiving the assistance you need. Sharply Enabling DSS provides in-home disability support services that align with SIL and other NDIS funding categories.
We take time during our initial meeting to understand your preferences, communication style, interests, and the personality traits you'd like in a support worker. From there, we identify team members who are the best fit. You'll meet potential workers before support commences, and the final choice is always yours.
Yes. Consistency is one of our core commitments. We roster the same workers wherever possible so you can build a genuine relationship with your support team. If circumstances require a change, we communicate clearly and introduce any new team members properly.
We provide supported independent living and in-home disability support across Greater Adelaide, including northern, southern, eastern, and western suburbs. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, get in touch and we'll confirm.
In-home disability support typically falls under Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life) in your NDIS plan. Skill building activities may be funded under Capacity Building. We can help you understand how your plan aligns with our services, and we're happy to liaise with your support coordinator or plan manager.
We expect your needs to evolve. Our team adapts as your goals and circumstances change, whether that means increasing support, stepping back as you gain independence, or adjusting the focus of your sessions. Regular check-ins ensure we stay aligned with where you're at.
Our short-term respite care gives families time to recharge, knowing their loved one is safe with people who genuinely care. Flexible options to suit your family's needs, across Adelaide
