Supported Independent Living is a type of NDIS support designed to help people with disabilities live as independently as possible. 

It provides participants with the necessary assistance to carry out daily tasks, enabling them to live in shared accommodation or on their own while receiving support to manage their everyday needs. SIL is typically for individuals who require 24/7 support or significant assistance with daily activities.

SIL support is typically accessible to those who can provide evidence that they are unable to live without 24/7 support due to a disability.  

Securing NDIS SIL services usually involves undergoing a functional capacity assessment conducted by a qualified health professional. Eligible individuals can contact the NDIS to initiate the assessment process and determine their suitability for these services. 

Alternatively, HealSoul’s experienced team can assist with inquiries and guide you through the process of accessing SIL support.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is about providing suitable housing for people with significant disabilities, designed to meet their unique needs. Similarly, Supported Independent Living (SIL) is about providing care and support services for people who need help with daily tasks and living more independently, regardless of where they live.

Both SDA and SIL can work together to support individuals, but they serve distinct purposes within the NDIS framework.

Yes and no, while those living in a group home may receive SIL support, the degree of support is usually more comprehensive than those accessing standalone SIL support. 

For example:

Standalone SIL Support might look like a person with a disability who lives in their own home but needs assistance with daily tasks like cooking and bathing. They receive SIL funding to cover the cost of support workers who come to their home and help them with these activities.

SIL in a Group Home setting may involve a person with a disability living in a group home with several other residents. They share the accommodation and the support staff, who are funded through SIL, providing help with daily tasks for all the residents.

The cost of SIL varies depending on several factors including the level of support required, the number of hours of care provided, the location and the type of accommodation. As SIL funding through the NDIS is individualised, the amount allocated is tailored to each participant’s specific needs and circumstances.

To learn more about the cost of our SIL services in relation to your circumstances and available funding, we recommend booking a free consultation with one of our expert team members.

The primary purpose of Supported Independent Living (SIL) is to provide individuals with disabilities the necessary support to live as independently as possible while enabling them to manage their daily tasks and routines.
