Making a Difference
Capacity Building
Our mentorship program is here to help people with disabilities grow and succeed through activities that boost their skills and confidence. Our mentors are like guides, working closely with you to create a plan that fits your unique strengths and goals. We believe everyone has incredible abilities, and our job is to help you discover and unleash them.
We focus on things that matter in both work and personal life, like getting better at communication or learning about tools that make life easier. Together, we follow the wise words of Helen Keller: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." Our mentorship program is a place where we break down barriers, show that disabilities don't define us, and highlight the amazing things we can achieve.
Join us on a journey where we celebrate differences, learn from each other and grow. With our mentors by your side, there are no limits to what you can achieve. Let's build a future full of success and empowerment together!

Short Term Accommodation (STA, previously Respite)
At Lilac Support, we specialise in tailoring individualised 1:1 short-term accommodation options to not only enhance your capacity but also offer a refreshing respite from home while providing new experiences and opportunities. Our goal is to create unique and enriching moments that contribute to your personal growth and enjoyment.
In our past Short Term Accommodation (STA) services, we've orchestrated diverse experiences, ranging from picturesque fishing trips with accommodations near the beach and fishing charters, to immersive city adventures featuring Fringe shows, dinner, drinks, and multiple performances all in one night. We've explored tourist hotspots like Moonta Mines and savoured the finest ice cream on the Yorke Peninsula. For those seeking a taste of the city's nightlife, we've facilitated safe and supported visits to nightclubs. Additionally, our services extend to cooking experiences, public transport support, and capacity-building for household tasks.
The possibilities for creative experiences are boundless. Have you ever dreamt of scaling rock walls or teeing off on a golf course? Let's collaborate and plan exciting adventures together. Reach out today, and let's embark on a journey of fun, growth, and unforgettable moments.

MTA is a fantastic choice for individuals in transitional phases, whether en route to Supported Independent Living (SIL) or awaiting the readiness of their new home supports.

During this period, your daily living costs, including essentials like food, internet, and electricity, remain your responsibility.
