NDIS Supported Independent Living in NSW & QLD
Live the life you want, with the right support behind you. Our SIL homes offer genuine, consistent support so you can be independent, comfortable and connected to your community.
What is NDIS Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living, known as SIL, is an NDIS-funded support that helps people with disability live as independently as possible in their own home or a shared living environment.
SIL is not about doing everything for you. It's about having the right support in place so you can live your life on your terms, with help available when you need it, from people who actually know you.
At Individual Me, our SIL support ranges from a few hours of help each day through to overnight and 24/7 support, depending on what your goals and your NDIS plan allow for.
What SIL support can include:
Assistance with personal care and morning/evening routines
Support with cooking, meals and household tasks
Help with medication prompts and health management
Building everyday skills and independence
Community access and social connection
Overnight and 24/7 active support where needed
Support levels are matched to your individual goals and NDIS plan.
Who is supported independent living right for?
SIL is designed for NDIS participants who need regular support to live safely and independently. Whether that's a few hours of help each day or around-the-clock support.
It's a great option if you're ready to move out of the family home, transition out of a care facility, or simply want more structure and support in your daily life.
You want to live independently but need regular daily support
You're ready to move out of the family home or another care setting
You need help with personal care, routines or household tasks
You want to share a home with others in a supported environment
You need overnight or 24/7 support to live safely

FAQs
Frequently asked questions about NDIS Supported Independent Living
-
SIL is the funding for support workers who help you in your home. SDA is the funding for the physical building for participants who need a specifically designed or modified home. You can have SIL without SDA. They are separate line items in your NDIS plan.

You'll need to show the NDIS that you need regular daily support to live safely. This usually involves an assessment of your support needs and a quote from a SIL provider. Your support coordinator can guide you through this. If you don't have one, contact us and we can help point you in the right direction.
