The meaning of ikigai

"ee-kee-guy"

Ikigai is a beautiful Japanese word that means “a reason for being”. It’s your why; the thing that gives your life meaning, joy, and direction. For some, it’s a big dream or goal. For others, it’s found in the little things: a chat over coffee, time in nature, or doing something you love. 

At Ikigai Community Care, this idea is at the heart of everything we do. We’re here to support people in finding their own version of ikigai — and to walk beside them as they live a life that feels right, whatever that looks like.

Feel seen, heard and understood

Support that starts with who you are

Your support should feel like something that fits into your world and makes sense for you. At Ikigai Community Care, we begin by listening — really listening — so we can understand what makes you feel comfortable, valued and in control. 

We don’t just offer disability support. We build genuine connections, tailored around the way you live and what you want from your day. Because the best support is the kind that understands you fully, without you having to explain yourself over and over again.

More about us

Disability support that helps you do more of what you love

Do more of what matters to you

Ikigai is the idea that everyone has something that gives their life purpose and it doesn’t have to be big. It might be connection, creativity, routine, or a sense of calm in your day. 

Our approach to disability support is about helping you hold onto those things and explore new ones. Whatever lights you up, we’re here to support it in a way that feels natural, practical, and completely tailored to you.

Real stories from individuals and families we've supported

What people are saying

R & B G
"The team at Ikigai Community Care is nothing short of amazing. Every staff member is warm, caring, and genuinely committed to supporting individuals in a way that’s both respectful and empowering. Their dedication to helping participants live their best lives shines through in everything they do. We’re so lucky to have such a compassionate and values-driven service right here in our local community."
E & B F
"Ikigai has supported our sons since its inception in 2023, and we couldn’t be happier. As a family, we truly value the open communication, the high standard of care, and the way Ikigai consistently upholds NDIS protocols. The support staff are exceptional — they engage with our sons respectfully and enthusiastically, participating in the activities they choose and supporting them to explore new experiences out in the wider community. It’s reassuring to know they are in such caring and capable hands."
D, S & E G
"Leanne and her team at Ikigai Care are truly wonderful. Ikigai has become such a meaningful part of our daughter’s life, thanks to the caring, committed, and supportive staff who go above and beyond. They’ve created a warm, welcoming, and inclusive community where she feels valued, connected, and genuinely at home."
J & B M
"Our family has been with Ikigai since the very beginning, and the support has been nothing short of life-changing. After COVID, our son had spent over three years isolated in his home, with a combination of life barriers that made it difficult for him to engage socially or participate in everyday activities. Leanne and staff spent months meeting him where he was gently, consistently, and with deep understanding helping him build the confidence to express who he truly is. Today, he is thriving: socially active, connected, and living a life filled with purpose and joy. Leanne also guided us through the NDIS, helping us understand the system and connecting us with allied health professionals, support coordinators, and OTs. Without Ikigai, we truly don’t know where we’d be today."
