What is Supported Independent Living?

SIL or Supported Independent Living is an NDIS support designed for people with higher support needs who wish to live independently. SIL funding covers assistance with daily tasks such as personal care, cooking, cleaning, medication management, and developing everyday life skills—all within a safe, supportive environment.

SIL is commonly provided in shared homes with other participants, but it can also be arranged for single-occupancy living based on your NDIS goals and needs.

FAQs

Can I choose who I live with in an SIL arrangement?

Absolutely!

We prioritise compatibility and your preferences when arranging shared living. You’ll have a say in selecting your housemates to ensure a comfortable and positive living environment.

Is supported independent living funding only available for shared housing?

No, SIL funding can also support individuals living alone if their disability-related needs justify a higher level of assistance. We can help explore the best option based on your NDIS plan.

What is the difference between SIL and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?

SIL covers the support services provided in your home, while SDA refers to the specialised housing itself. You can receive SIL services in SDA-approved homes or other suitable accommodations.

How are my support needs assessed for SIL eligibility?

Your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) will assess your daily support requirements during your planning meeting. We can assist you with gathering reports and supporting documentation to strengthen your application.
