Features & Benefits

Who this support is for

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is for NDIS participants who need help with daily tasks throughout the day, often including overnight, and who want to live as independently as possible. SIL is often provided in shared homes, but it can also be provided to people living on their own.

What’s included

  • Help with personal care, meals and medication
  • Support with cleaning, laundry, shopping and budgeting
  • Building skills so you can do more for yourself over time
  • Support to get along with housemates and handle shared-house decisions
  • Active overnight support or sleepover support, depending on your needs
  • Support to keep up with appointments, work, study and community activities

Your home, your choices

We involve you in choosing your support team and respect your right to make choices about your own life, from what’s for dinner to how you spend your weekend.

How it’s funded

SIL is funded from Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life. The NDIA uses a roster of care and your support needs to set your SIL funding. Rent, food and bills are paid from your own income, not your NDIS plan. If your home is Specialist Disability Accommodation, that is funded separately under Capital Supports.

Areas we cover

We provide SIL in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need SIL in my NDIS plan first?
Usually, yes. If it isn’t in your plan yet, we can help you and your support coordinator prepare for a plan change.

Can I choose my housemates?
We involve you and your family in housemate decisions.

Can I visit before deciding?
Yes. Talk to us about arranging a visit.
