Welcome to Minda Incorporated.

Established in 1898, Minda has a rich South Australian history as one of the oldest and most respected disability service providers, providing the highest-quality of care and support to  people with an intellectual disability.

 Minda: We can do it

We can say this because we see it, each and every day. We see it in the smiles of the individuals we support, who are able to live in their own home, go on holidays, have a job…

We see it in the dedication of our staff members and their families who support the work they do.  And we see it in the generosity of the public, our corporate sponsors, and our volunteers.

Too right – We Can Do It
