What it is

SIL, which means supported independent living, is help with daily life in a shared home. You have your own room in a shared home. It can be funded through your NDIS plan, depending on your goals and budget.

You choose the goals. Maybe that is cooking your own dinner or catching the bus to work. We work on them with you day to day. We check them with you along the way.

What it looks like

What this looks like day to day

  • Help planned around your day

    Support fits your routine. You do what you can, and we help with the rest.

  • Choosing housemates together

    We think carefully about who lives together. We talk with you about the household before you move in.

  • Visiting our homes

    Family and friends are welcome. As an adult, you choose who visits and when. We agree visiting times with you and your housemates.

How we work

How we work together

We start by listening. Then we change things as your goals change.

  1. We get to know you

    What a good day looks like, what you want to work on and who matters to you.

  2. We talk about our homes

    We tell you about our homes, the shared spaces and which rooms are open.

  3. You move in

    We plan the move with you and introduce the people who will support you.

  4. We review your goals

    We check your goals with you, and with your family if you want. Your support changes as you grow.

SIL suits adults who want more independence, with support close by each day. It might be a young adult moving out of the family home for the first time. It might be someone who wants a new home or a new provider. Tell us what you need and we will talk it through.
