Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Supported Independent Living gives you the day-to-day help you need to live as independently as possible - in your own home or with housemates you get along with.

A home that feels like yours, with support that fits your life

Home should be the place where you feel safest and most yourself. Our SIL teams provide consistent, trained support workers who help with the daily routines that make a house run smoothly, while respecting that the decisions about how you live are yours to make.

Whether you are moving out of the family home for the first time, transitioning from hospital or residential care, or simply want a better fit, we build a support roster around your goals, your personality and the people you share a home with. Support can range from a few hours a day through to 24/7 active and sleepover care.

FAQs

Common questions about supported independent living

How is SIL funded under the NDIS?

SIL is funded from the Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life budget. The NDIA usually needs a Roster of Care and supporting evidence (such as a functional assessment from an occupational therapist) before approving SIL. We can help you prepare the roster and quote.

Do I have to live in a group home to receive SIL?

No. SIL can be delivered in a home you rent or own, in SDA, or in a shared home with other participants. We work with you to find the living arrangement that suits you best.

Can I choose who supports me?

Yes. We match support workers based on your needs, interests, culture and language, and you can ask for changes at any time.
