ILSA has been providing personalised support services to people living with physical, intellectual, psychosocial and cognitive disability in the Cairns region since 1997. Since then, we have expanded to provide disability supports in the Mackay district and home care support to My Aged Care Home Care recipients in the Cairns region.
We are guided by our Vision of enabling independent living and inclusion for all. As such, our clients are heavily involved in the provision of their own support – we assist clients as much or as little as required in order to help you live as independently as possible in your own home and community. Furthermore, our intention is to provide you with a stable support team, with the appropriate experience to suits your needs.
