Our Story
With no clients, no staff, and no office, founder Kezia Kingston set out to build something from nothing. Driven by curiosity, determination, and a progressive vision for smarter, more connected service, Staying Independent started growing.
Today, Staying Independent is recognised internationally as a healthcare leader - awarded Favourite Healthcare Company and Winner of Excellence in Healthcare Innovation across Asia-Pacific, and ranked Fastest Growing Company across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
In 2025, Kezia was named Global Healthcare Entrepreneur of the Year.
But titles aren't the goal. Raising the standard of care is.
From day one to now, our mission has stayed the same: coordinated support, real outcomes, and a future where every participant has the chance to grow - with us.
Staying Independent began from a simple question:
Can we deliver smarter, more efficient care - without compromising what participants truly need?
The Integrated Outcomes Model™
The Integrated Outcomes Model™
The First of Its Kind in Australia.
Where Therapy and Support Work As One.
Across the NDIS, therapeutic plans are written - but rarely followed through. Support staff are left without the tools, context, or confidence to deliver real outcomes. At Staying Independent, we’ve eliminated that disconnect entirely.
Our Integrated Outcomes Model™ unites therapists and support workers under one roof - working as one coordinated team. Support staff are trained by our clinical team, equipped with practical strategies, and supported before, during, and after every shift.
This isn’t just collaboration - it’s integration.
With open communication channels and real-time guidance, and action taken aligns with the participant’s goals - and the results are measurable.
No other NDIS provider in Australia operates with this level of clinical coordination, efficiency, and execution. That’s why we win awards, but really the winners are actually our participants and staff, working in a far more efficient model of care.
We’re good at somethings but not everything.

We’re Building tech - Designed with and for the Disability Community
This isn’t just innovation. It’s inclusion by design.
Technology with purpose. Grounded in evidence. Built for the brains the system forgot.
Staying Independent has always solved real problems with real solutions. Now, we’re extending that impact by creating technology that supports our clients in ways traditional tools never could.
LearnAble is our latest initiative - a cognitive-accessible platform designed specifically for NDIS participants and the teams who support them.
Created in partnership with a world-class tech agency, it’s the first step in a larger CareTech ecosystem focused on Cognitive Mobility™: helping people learn, communicate, plan, remember, and participate more confidently in everyday life.
Right now, mainstream AI is built for the fast, linear, neurotypical thinker.
1 in 6 people can’t use it.
Their needs have been overlooked.
LearnAble changes that.
It brings together neuro-affirming design, accessible prompts, visual supports, and personalised tools to help individuals, families, and support teams connect, learn, and grow — together.
