NDIS participants who need a lot of support to live independently can access SIL. It’s funded under the Core Supports category in an NDIS plan. It doesn’t cover rent or expenses, which are covered by other categories of NDIS funding.

SIL is based on your individual goals and needs, and the level of support you need to achieve them. SIL can also include disability housing that allows you to live with other housemates.

SIL is a NDIS support

Supported independent living Melbourne (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support service that helps people with disabilities become more self-reliant. This includes assisting them with daily tasks and helping them develop life skills. SIL also focuses on providing accommodation and assistance in shared living arrangements.

Eligibility for SIL is determined during the NDIS planning process, and it depends on your goals and functional capacity. It may also include home modifications or assistive technology to help you live more independently.

SIL is designed for NDIS participants with high support needs, and it’s funded under the Core Supports category of your plan. It can be accessed whether you live alone or in group housing with housemates. It doesn’t cover expenses like rent or groceries.

SIL is different from Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), which provides accommodation for people with severe or profound disabilities. It’s important to understand the difference between these two supports so that you can find the best solution for your situation.

It’s about empowerment

We understand how challenging it can be to find the right fit, so we are here to help. We offer a range of personalised support and coordination services to ensure you get the best care possible.

It’s about independence

A key goal of SIL is to help people with disabilities become supported independent living providers and selfreliant. This may be in the form of full-time support or providing assistance when necessary. Our team is dedicated to connecting people with reputable service providers, government-funded programs, and community resources to empower them to live their best life. Contact us today to learn more about how SIL can benefit you or your loved one. Empowerment, inclusion, and independence are at the heart of everything we do.
