SA Disability Care understands the importance of being able to enjoy your favourite social activities. Maintaining your lifestyle and social interactions play a key role in sustaining a good quality of life and empowering you to strive for independence and connection.

These supports can be provided in a centre or community setting and provided individually, or within a group.
We run day programs from our venue in Salisbury, South Australia. Participants enjoy a range of individualised, varied and culturally appropriate activities, including arts and crafts, culturally themed days, guest performers, BBQs, creative wellness and reablement programs, indoor games and movie screenings.
95% percent of our support workers, volunteers and key administrative staff are bilingual or multilingual and many have volunteered for many years in leadership roles for a range of Bhutanese, Burmese, Indian, Afghan, Cambodian, African and Nepali Community groups.
We are actively engaged with local community and community organisations, such as AMES Australia, Australian Refugee Association, Bhutanese Australia Association of SA, and the Lyell McEwin Volunteer Association. We meet regularly with these referring organisations to discuss the changing needs of new arrivals to Australia, as well as those transitioning out of settlement services.
