The NDIS offers a wide range of support services, and Supported Independent Living (SIL) is one of them—specifically designed for participants who require 24/7 care. This level of support may not always be possible in the participant’s current home, which is why SIL is often provided in either shared accommodation or a dedicated personal residence.
These living arrangements are staffed by professional support workers who are available daily to assist with a range of tasks, helping participants manage their day-to-day lives more independently and comfortably.
SIL is available to NDIS participants aged 18 and over who have a disability that requires ongoing, around-the-clock support. Based on individual needs and circumstances, participants may be recommended to either share accommodation with others or live in their own supported home.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides varying levels of support tailored to your daily needs, goals, and preferences. Daytime assistance can include help with personal care such as showering, dressing, eating, mobility, meal preparation, cleaning, and general household tasks. This support may be hands-on or supervisory, depending on your level of independence.
Overnight support is available in two forms: sleepover support, where a staff member is onsite and available if needed, and active overnight support, for those requiring ongoing assistance throughout the night. Your specific overnight needs are considered during SIL planning.
SIL typically involves shared support in group living settings. Depending on your requirements, you may share support workers with others or have one-on-one support. Support ratios are based on the level of care you need.
The intensity of support also varies. Most participants receive standard support, while those with complex medical or behavioral needs may require high-intensity support delivered by trained staff.
