Family-Owned & Operated
We believe great support goes beyond completing tasks. It builds confidence, encourages independence and respects the whole person. Every interaction at Lanara is guided by psychology, shaped by your goals, and delivered with genuine care.
We proudly provide trusted care.
We focus on what you can do, building on your existing strengths and abilities to help you grow in confidence and independence.
Our team is trained to recognise and respond to the effects of trauma, creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment at all times.
We match you with a dedicated worker and keep that relationship going, because consistency builds trust, and trust helps progress.
Your support plan is built around your personal goals, reviewed regularly, and adapted as your needs and aspirations evolve.
We provide four supports: Psychosocial Support, Social Participation, Personal Care Support and Daily Living Assistance. Psychosocial Support helps you build confidence, skills and independence at your own pace. Social Participation helps you connect with your community and enjoy activities that interest you. Personal Care Support assists with hygiene, grooming and mobility, and Daily Living Assistance helps you build routines and manage household tasks, at home or out in the community.
Every one of our support workers holds a university degree in psychology or a related discipline, so your support is informed by a genuine understanding of mental health, trauma and behaviour, not just task completion. We are also family-owned, and the people who run Lanara are involved in support every day.
Getting started is straightforward. You can contact us directly by phone or email, or ask your Support Coordinator to make a referral on your behalf. We will then arrange an initial conversation to understand your goals and needs before developing a tailored support plan together.
We take great care in matching participants with the right support worker based on your personality, goals, and preferences. We also prioritise consistency, so you will work with the same support worker regularly, so you can build a genuine, trusting relationship over time.
Yes, if your NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed. We cannot be paid from an NDIA-managed (agency-managed) plan. We also support private clients who pay for their own support. Our services page explains which part of your plan usually pays for each support.
We are based in Marrickville and support adults across six areas of Sydney: the Inner West, Inner City and South Sydney, Canterbury-Bankstown, St George and Bayside, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay, and the Eastern Suburbs. See our service areas for the suburbs in each.
We understand that your reputation depends on the providers you recommend. Lanara’s qualified support workers provide consistent, psychology-informed support your clients can rely on, and we keep you informed once support starts.
