Care Assure: NDIS Provider in Adelaide
Care Assure in Port Augusta and the Upper Spencer Gulf
Port Augusta sits at the head of the Spencer Gulf, where the highways north, west, and south meet, making it the service hub for South Australia's far north. For NDIS participants, that regional-centre role matters: Care Assure delivers support here, so people across the upper Spencer Gulf do not have to travel to Adelaide to access a provider.
We support participants across Port Augusta and the surrounding region, including Stirling North, Port Augusta West, and the communities of the upper Spencer Gulf. Every plan is built around the person's own goals and adjusted as needs change.
SIL and SDA: The Simple Version
They are easy to confuse because they usually come as a pair. Specialist Disability Accommodation is the specialised home; Supported Independent Living is the support delivered within it. Some plans fund only one, many fund both. Care Assure provides each and can help you understand your own plan.
Supported Independent Living in Port Augusta
Our Supported Independent Living services in Port Augusta provide daily assistance from experienced support workers, helping with personal care, medication management, meal preparation, household routines, and everyday living skills. Designed for participants with medium to high support needs, SIL helps you remain independent in your local community and is funded through your NDIS Core Supports budget.
Specialist Disability Accommodation for Port Augusta
Care Assure delivers daily support in Specialist Disability Accommodation provided by Care Casa, our SDA provider partner, for eligible participants in the Port Augusta region with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Our accessible homes include High Physical Support and Robust design categories that promote independence and safety. SDA is funded through your NDIS Capital Supports budget and is commonly paired with SIL services.
Respite Care in Port Augusta
Our respite care in Port Augusta provides a safe, supported short stay while giving carers valuable time to rest and recharge. Every stay includes accommodation, personal care, meals, daily living assistance, and engaging activities in a welcoming environment.

In-Home Disability Care in Port Augusta
Our in-home disability care in Port Augusta brings personalised support directly to your home, including personal care, household tasks, meal preparation, community access, and overnight assistance where required. These flexible supports help you remain safely in your own home while receiving daily living assistance funded through your NDIS Core Supports budget.

Whether visiting the foreshore, the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden, joining social groups, volunteering, or building confidence using local transport, we support your goals. Funding is available through Capacity Building or Core Supports, depending on your NDIS plan.

Hospital Discharge Support in Port Augusta
Our hospital discharge support in Port Augusta helps participants return home safely by arranging accommodation, equipment, and daily supports before discharge.

Services are commonly funded through Medium Term Accommodation until long-term supports are established.
Not Sure What Your Plan Covers in Port Augusta?
Uncertainty about your plan is the norm, not the exception. Whether you have an active plan, a plan in progress, or are still working out eligibility, we will review your options with you at no cost and match the services you can use to your funding across Port Augusta.
A Registered NDIS Provider Serving the Upper Spencer Gulf
Registration with the NDIS means Care Assure faces audits against the Practice Standards and answers to the Quality and Safeguards Commission. From 1 July 2026, SIL delivery requires registration and the new SIL Practice Standards. We already hold to them, so your support continues seamlessly. If your current SIL provider is not registered, check the NDIS Commission’s provider register and talk to your support coordinator about your options.
SIL and SDA
Care Assure delivers support in SIL homes and Care Casa SDA homes across South Australia. Where we have current vacancies in or near Port Augusta, they appear here with design category, location, and availability. Call (08) 7071 9276 to arrange an inspection.
What Do Our Clients Say About Us?
We have found Care Assure to be an extremely professional, reliable and supportive NDIS provider. Their communication is excellent, and the team consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism in their interactions with both our organisation and the people we support.
One of the things we value most about Care Assure is their ability to work effectively with clients who may present with complex or challenging behaviours. They approach each individual with patience, understanding and a genuine desire to find solutions that work for the person, rather than taking a one size fits all approach.
The team is also incredibly flexible and willing to think outside the box to find ways to support people and improve their outcomes. Their genuine care for the people they work with is evident in everything they do. We have really appreciated their willingness to collaborate, their responsiveness and their commitment to providing quality support.
