Lanara offers four kinds of NDIS support for adults in Sydney: psychosocial support, social participation, personal care and daily living assistance. Under the NDIS they are usually funded from your Core supports budget, in the categories the NDIA calls “Assistance with daily life” and “Assistance with social and community participation”.
We work with self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants and private clients across six areas of Sydney’s inner, southern and eastern suburbs. We cannot be paid from NDIA-managed (agency-managed) plans. Every one of our support workers holds a university degree in psychology or a related discipline.
Psychology-informed support to build your confidence, independence, and life skills.

We believe great support goes beyond completing tasks. Every service we deliver is grounded in psychological principles, shaped by your individual goals, and carried out with the warmth and consistency of a family-owned team.

Family-Owned & Operated
Psychosocial Support focuses on your mental health, emotional wellbeing and independence, helping you build life skills, manage daily routines, connect with your community, and work towards your personal goals. Personal Care Support is more practical in nature, providing dignified assistance with personal hygiene, grooming, mobility, and daily living tasks. Many of our participants receive both services, and our team works together to ensure they complement each other seamlessly.
Yes. We provide support both in your home and out in the community, whether that means accompanying you to appointments, helping you access local activities, or simply being there for a walk or a coffee. Where your support takes place is always guided by what works best for you.
The frequency of your support is determined by your individual support plan and goals. Some participants see their support worker several times a week, while others have less frequent sessions. Regardless of frequency, we prioritise consistency, so you will work with the same support worker so that a genuine, trusting relationship can develop over time.
Absolutely. We review your support plan regularly and adapt it as your goals, circumstances, and needs change. We believe great support is never static. It grows with you. If at any point you feel your support needs to be adjusted, you can raise this with your support worker or contact us directly.
Our supports are usually funded from your NDIS Core supports budget, in the categories the NDIA calls “Assistance with daily life” and “Assistance with social and community participation”. We can be paid from self-managed and plan-managed plans, but not from NDIA-managed (agency-managed) plans. We also support private clients who pay for their own support. If you are not sure what your plan covers, talk to your support coordinator or plan manager, or call us on 1300 152 627.
No. A psychosocial recovery coach is a separate NDIS-funded role that helps you plan and organise your supports and connect with mental health and community services. Our psychosocial support is support work: we work alongside you in everyday life. Many people have both, and with your consent we are happy to work alongside your recovery coach.
