What is Supported Living?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a NDIS support package that lets you live with other people with disability, or on your own. It can include support for everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning and personal care, to build your independence. Our SIL houses can also connect you to new activities, social events and hobbies in your home and your local community.

Your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator can help you work out if Supported Independent Living is right for you. Some of the things you will think about together are:
-
What supports you need in your home
-
Your individual circumstances and needs
-
Your age (SIL is for people aged 18 and over)
-
Your goals and preferences
-
Your independence, and skills development goals
-
If modifications to your home or assistive technology may increase your independence and safety
-
Information, reports and assessments provided by you, health professionals and other providers
-
If you need significant person-to-person supports due to your disability support needs
-
Other home and living options that might suit you
-
What is value for money.
