Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Lanara.

Lanara was founded by a father and son who share a deep belief that support should be delivered with genuine warmth, expertise, and a true understanding of the whole person. As a family-owned and operated business, we bring trust, consistency, and personal connection to everything we do - because we believe that is exactly what great support looks like.

It means that every member of our team holds a university degree in psychology or a related discipline. Rather than simply completing tasks, our support workers understand the psychological dimensions of mental health, trauma, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing. This allows them to provide support that is not only practical, but genuinely therapeutic and empowering.

We provide psychosocial and personal care support across the Sydney region. If you are unsure whether we service your area, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss your options.
