Expression of Interest – Board Secretary

July 31, 2020

The Board of Enhanced Lifestyles Incorporated are urgently seeking expression of interest from a member of the Association, who would...

Enhanced Lifestyles was formed in 1990 by a group of people living with disabilities. They lobbied for funding that allowed them to form the Disabled Independent Persons of South Australia (DIPSA) in 1982.

Two key lobbyists from the South Australian Council of Social Services (SACOSS) established an incorporated body to form a company called Community Independence Association (CIA) in 1983. The board was comprised of people with disabilities that used the service, with the aim of being a completely user-led organisation. They introduced the revolutionary concept of offering members choice and control of their services.

During the initial funding for CIA, the board also applied for funds to create a second organisation known as South Australian Independent Lifestyles (SAIL). This was to cater for 15 to 20 people who would receive in-home support. CIA and SAIL co-existed for 10 years.

During 1990, the board identified the need for growth to remain feasible, thus CIA and SAIL merged to form Enhanced Lifestyle. The organisation continues to be one of the longest running user-led and tailored service providers.
