Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS service that supports individuals with disabilities in living more independently in shared or individual housing arrangements. SIL provides ongoing support to help individuals develop and maintain the skills necessary for independent living while living in a home of their choice.

Purpose: The primary purpose of SIL is to empower people with disabilities to live as independently as possible while receiving support tailored to their specific needs. It aims to enhance their daily living skills, social integration, and community participation.

Support: SIL support can encompass various aspects of daily life, including personal care, household tasks, budgeting, meal planning, and accessing community services. The level of support is individualized based on each person’s goals and needs.
