Supported Independent Living.
A home of your own, with the right support around the clock. SIL gives you the assistance you need to live as independently as possible, in a shared home or on your own.

What it is
Your NDIS plan funds the people, not the bricks.
Supported Independent Living is NDIS-funded support that helps you live in your own home. It covers the support staffing inside the home, up to and including 24-hour active support with overnight. SIL suits participants whose plans fund a substantial level of daily support, and we work with you to make sure the right hours and funding are in place before support starts.
Accommodation is arranged separately, through one of our SIL homes, Specialist Disability Accommodation, or within your own home. SIL is not about doing everything for you. It is about working alongside you so you own your daily life.
Who it's for
- Participants who need regular support with daily tasks and want to live outside the family home or a facility
- Participants with complex or high support needs, including overnight
- People leaving hospital who need a home and support together
Some examples of participants we currently support: people living with physical, intellectual or psychosocial disability, autism, and acquired brain injury.
What's included
Everything included in your SIL support.
Overnight support
Sleepover and active overnight options based on your assessed needs, so support never has an off switch.
Community access
Shopping, appointments, social activities and outings that keep you connected beyond the front door.
Goal & skill development
Cooking independence, budgeting, travel training and social skills, mapped to the goals in your NDIS plan.
Behaviour & complex support
Workers trained for behaviour support plans and complex health needs, with clinical backup from our nursing team.
A housemate-fit process
We match housemates and workers for personality, language and lifestyle, because a home only works when the people in it do.

Leaving hospital into SIL?
Many of our SIL participants come to us through a hospital discharge. Our Hospital Transitions team lines up the home and the support team before discharge day, so you leave hospital into a place that is ready for you.

Common questions
SIL questions, answered plainly.
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL funds the support people in your home. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) funds purpose-built accessible housing for participants with that funding in their plan. Some people have both. We deliver SIL support, and as a registered SDA provider we can offer SDA housing too.
Do I have to share a house?
Not necessarily. SIL can be delivered in a shared home or, where funding and circumstances allow, in your own home. We can also provide SIL homes for participants who are looking for suitable shared accommodation with the right level of support. The options available will depend on your individual NDIS funding, support needs and circumstances, and we can help you understand what is possible for you.
How do vacancies work?
Our SIL housing page lists every home with its current status, including homes that are occupied, so you can see what exists and register interest for what is coming.
