What if the only thing standing between you and a life of independence was the right support?
For many people with disabilities, the desire to live more freely and make their own choices is strong, but the journey isn’t always easy. Managing daily tasks, taking care of personal needs, and staying connected to the community can be tough without the right help. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a pathway through Supported Independent Living (SIL)—a program designed to help people live more independently with the support they need.
Understanding Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded service that provides assistance with daily tasks, enabling individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible. This support can include help with personal care, cooking, cleaning, and developing life skills. SIL arrangements are tailored to individual needs, whether in shared accommodations or single-occupancy homes, ensuring that each person receives the appropriate level of support.
The Benefits of SIL
- Enhanced Independence: SIL empowers individuals to manage their daily routines, make personal choices, and build self-confidence.
- Skill Development: Participants learn essential life skills, such as budgeting, meal preparation, and personal hygiene, fostering greater autonomy.
- Community Engagement: SIL encourages social interaction and participation in community activities, reducing isolation and promoting inclusion.
- Personalised Support: Services are customised to align with each individual’s goals and preferences, ensuring meaningful and effective assistance.

- Personalisation: Does the provider offer customised support plans?
- Experience: What is the provider’s track record in delivering SIL services?
