Our story
Care DS was founded on a simple belief: every Australian with disability deserves the freedom to live life on their own terms.
How we started
In 2020, Care DS was born in South Australia, driven by lived experience. Our founders saw how difficult it could be for people with disabilities and their families to find support that was genuinely person-centred — support that listened, adapted, and showed up consistently. We are a registered NDIS provider who puts participants at the centre of every decision. From the very first conversation, we work alongside you to understand your goals, your preferences, and what a good life looks like for you.
Why we're different
Unlike large corporate providers, Care DS remains a close-knit team of dedicated support TEAM who genuinely care. We take the time to match each participant with the right TEAM member — someone who shares your interests, understands your needs, and is committed to helping you thrive. Every plan we build is as unique as the person it belongs to.
Care DS recruit high-quality Australian TEAM members to listen, support, and walk beside you, ensuring you take every step with confidence to achieve your goals.
