Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Supported independent living (SIL) is the name of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funding that provides in-home supports to eligible people living with different abilities to enable them to live as independently as possible.
Funding for SIL is usually provided to people who need 24/7 support while living in the community. It is typically in a shared living arrangement but in some cases may be given to those living on their own.
There can be some confusion about SIL funding and what it encompasses. SIL funding works a bit differently to other parts of the NDIS. SIL funding covers the cost of the support staff in the house, but not the accommodation itself. The funding typically includes things like having a person to help with personal care tasks, or cooking meals.
However, we take an innovative approach to SIL supports and may be able to assist some people with suitable housing solutions to support you and your journey.
We all aspire to live our lives on our own terms with choice and control over where we live and what we choose to do. Supported Care works with the NDIS to assist you to reach your goals and live your best life.
