What is SIL?
A Home, Not a Facility
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is about living in your own home, not a hospital, not an institution, with the support you need to thrive. You share a house with other participants, but you have your own private space and make your own choices.
Our SIL support is tailored to your individual needs. Some people need support throughout the day and night; others might just need help at certain times. We work with you to find the right balance.
The goal is always to build your skills and confidence so you can live as independently as possible. We are here to support you, not to take over.
NDIS Funding
SIL is funded under:
- Core Supports: Assistance with Daily Life
Note: SIL funding is assessed based on your individual support needs. Contact us to discuss whether SIL might be right for you.

- Respect for your privacy and autonomy
- Regular goal-setting and progress reviews
- Recovery-focused mental health support
What Makes Us Different
Many SIL providers focus on care, keeping people safe and comfortable. We focus on recovery and growth.

FAQs
Common Questions
SIL is for NDIS participants who need regular support to live independently but don't need the intensive care of a group home or residential facility. It's particularly suitable for people with psychosocial disabilities who want to develop their independence.

SIL support is funded through your NDIS plan. You'll pay rent and contribute to household costs (like food and utilities) from your personal income, similar to any rental arrangement. The support itself is covered by NDIS.
Of course. It's your home. You can have visitors, and we'll work with you and your housemates to ensure everyone feels comfortable. There may be some reasonable house guidelines around overnight guests.
