Supported Independent Living is an NDIS support. This home and living support is known as SIL.
With SIL, NDIS participants live alone or in a share house. Depending on the level of help at home you need, we can provide 24/7 support.
SIL is different to Indivdualised Living Options. Read our blog for a full guide.
Supported Independent Living is about building your skills to live your life.
Through SIL we provide assistance with day to day tasks. This is type of support is called daily living supports.
If needed, we will provide supervision with daily tasks. We will support you in building your skills.
Daily living tasks we can provide support as part of the SIL service include:
All SIL clients and their guardians have a voice when making decisions. Learn how we manage choice in our Choice Policy.
We will provide you with a welcoming and long-term place to live.
In the majority of our SIL houses you will share with others.
The people you live with is important. We make sure we match our clients with the right housemates.
Our SIL houses are comfortable and inviting. There are common areas for socialising and shared activities. You will have your own bedroom and can decorate in your own style.
Each house has an outdoor area for all to enjoy. Family and friends are welcome to visit at any time.
Our supported independent living service is in Adelaide, South Australia.
All our SIL houses are in the north and north-east of Adelaide.

You may have Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding. SDA is different to SIL.

All our support workers have:
We provide regular professional development and training.
Person Centred Active Support training is provided to all our staff.
This training assists our team to better support our clients.
Supported Independent Living funding is under 'Core Supports' in your NDIS plan.
The SIL funding you receive will depend on the support you need. This is in your roster of care (ROC).
We will use your ROC to organise your support staff. We will work with you to find how to best support you.
