We didn’t accept the system.
We rebuilt it.

What started as one clinician challenging the system became an international award winning NDIS provider.

Kezia Kingston, founder of Staying Independent, saw what wasn’t working.

Slow systems. Disconnected services. Participants waiting while providers operated in silos. It wasn’t just inefficient - it was broken. So she built something different.

From day one, Staying Independent was designed to challenge the way disability support is delivered.

No silos.
No unnecessary delays.
No “that’s not my job.”

Just aligned teams, clear outcomes, and better support.

What Makes Us Different

We don’t replicate what already exists.
We redesigned it.

We only take referrals when we have the right team, capacity, and expertise to deliver properly.

We’re selective. With both our clients and our staff. With a constant focus on outcomes for the participant.
