Home / ILS Blog / Important update: Professional Assistance for Living has successfully completed its transition with ILS.

The Professional Assistance for Living website has completed its transition with Independent Living Specialists.

Following the acquisition of PAL in February 2024, we’re on a mission to combine our capabilities, resources, and expertise to deliver a more comprehensive range of products and services to South Australians living with a disability. You can still access all the essential features from the PAL website.

At ILS Kids, we are committed to providing high-quality paediatric equipment for children with diverse needs. As an NDIS registered provider, we offer an extensive range of therapy and postural support equipment from leading global brands. We’re here to support the unique needs of children and their families by delivering the best products and services.
