How Jes & Jason Started Vana Care
Jes had spent years in the care industry watching families carry too much on their own. Jason came from fitness, where progress is built through trust, encouragement and showing up again and again. When they put those worlds together, Vana Care became a simple promise: support should feel personal, steady and matched to the life someone actually wants to live.
“We built the provider we wished existed. One where support workers are chosen for who they are, not just their qualifications.”
“South Australia deserves support that feels personal. That has never changed for us, whether we had 5 clients or 500.”
Our Story
Vana Care began with a lot of honest conversations about what good support should feel like. Jes knew how much difference the right care team could make in everyday life. Jason knew how powerful routine, confidence and a good match could be when someone was trying to move forward. Together, they saw a chance to build a provider that was warm, practical and deeply human.
Why We Do What We Do
That is still how we work today. We believe support works best when it reflects a person's real interests, not just the goals listed in their NDIS plan. Whether someone is into coastal fishing, esports marathons, gym sessions or tasting every new food truck in Adelaide, we pair them with a support worker who shares that spark. When people click, confidence grows, skills stick and community connections feel natural.
Who We Are Today
Our services now reach right across South Australia, delivering:
In-home support
Personal care, meals and household help across metropolitan and regional SA.
Community access
From gym sessions to rooftop cinema nights, outings built around your interests.
Supported Independent Living
Flexible SIL that feels like home, not a roster.
Across every service, our mantra stays the same: listen first, care second, admin last. A behind-the-scenes scheduling, clinical and training crew keeps rosters steady and care quality high so your frontline team can focus on you.
The people behind the support
What Our Team Brings

Matched to You

Local heart and soul
Proudly South Australian
Rooted in SA, we are driven to give back to the communities that raised us. Partnering with local venues, events and organisations, we make sure every South Australian who chooses Vana Care feels valued, respected and empowered.
Vision for the Future
Vana Care will keep pushing the NDIS space in South Australia forward. Over the next three years we are:
- Expanding our in-home support, community access and SIL teams into more regional hubs
- Investing in advanced training in positive behaviour support, assistive technology and mental health first aid
- Rolling out eco-friendly transport options to cut our footprint on local streets
Our goal is simple: keep raising the bar for people-first disability support across Adelaide and SA.

About Vana Care: Frequently Asked Questions
Get to know who we are, why we do what we do, and how we deliver NDIS-funded support to people across South Australia.
What is Vana Care?
Vana Care was started in Adelaide by Jes & Jason after years of seeing support from two different angles. Jes brought lived experience from the care industry, Jason brought a fitness background built on motivation and consistency, and together they shaped a provider that puts the person before the roster.
What does 'Vana' mean?
Vana represents care with purpose. It is about building a life of independence, dignity and connection. That mission runs through everything we do.
What makes Vana Care different from other NDIS providers?
We are local, we are small enough to know your name, and we match you with support workers based on shared interests, not just availability. Our team includes people with backgrounds in fitness and allied health, so active living and personal growth are part of our DNA.
Is Vana Care a registered NDIS provider?
Yes. We are a registered NDIS provider (registration 4050094069) based in Adelaide, covering metro and regional SA. We meet all NDIS quality and safeguarding requirements.
Who is on the Vana Care team?
Our team includes people with lived experience in disability, professional backgrounds in allied health, fitness, and support coordination. Many of our support workers started as personal trainers, which is why health and motivation are core to how we work.
Why should I choose Vana Care?
Fewer hoops, clearer communication, flexible support, and a team that actually picks up the phone. Whether you are new to the NDIS or switching providers, we make it simple.
