Skylight Mental Health
Mental Health Support in South Australia Since 1983
Skylight Mental Health has been walking alongside South Australians for more than 40 years. Our journey began in 1983 as the Schizophrenia Fellowship of South Australia, with a mission to support individuals living with serious mental illness.
In 2002, we became the Mental Illness Fellowship of SA to reflect the needs of a growing community. By 2006, we joined forces with the Mood Disorders Association of SA. Finally, in 2017, we embraced a new identity — Skylight Mental Health — reflecting a broader, more inclusive vision of recovery and wellbeing.
Today, Skylight is proud to be a leading NDIS mental health provider in South Australia. Our not-for-profit organisation, lived experience workforce, and trauma-informed approach shape everything we do.
Our Approach
At Skylight, we see mental health differently. We believe that mental health challenges should never define a person — recovery is possible, and it looks different for everyone.
Lived experience
80% of Skylight staff members bring personal experience and understanding to their roles.
Community-based
Services are delivered in partnership with local communities, councils, and networks.
Flexible & inclusive
from individualised NDIS support to peer-led groups, we adapt to each person’s journey.
Our Goals
Whether through individual support, therapeutic groups, or resources for carers, Skylight is committed to challenging outdated perceptions and building stronger, more connected communities across South Australia.
Reduce stigma and discrimination around mental health
Advocate for inclusive, person-centred policies
