with care, clarity, and purpose.
Real progress happens when we move forward, together.
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 Building AI - for the Disability Community
LearnAble AI
Technology with purpose. Built for the disability community.
Staying Independent is solving real problems with real solutions. Now, we’re growing our reach again - stepping into technology to support the people we care for in new and powerful ways.
LearnAble AI is our newest initiative: a smart, accessible tool created specifically with NDIS participants in mind. Co-designed with a leading tech partner, it’s the first in a suite of tools that will help individuals, families, and support teams connect, learn, and grow - together.
Artificial Intelligence has the power to transform disability support - but right now, we believe the needs of this community are not being met. LearnAble AI changes that.
This is more than innovation. It’s inclusion through design.
And we’re just getting started…
