The basics

What is Supported Independent Living?

SIL is NDIS funding for the support you receive inside your home. It covers the workers who help with personal care, meals, medication and household tasks — including overnight, where your plan funds it.
It is worth being clear about what SIL is not. SIL does not pay for the house. Rent or board comes out of your own income, the same as it would for anyone renting. And SIL is not a facility: our homes are regular houses on regular streets, with neighbours who mow their lawns on Sunday.
For most people SIL means sharing with one to three housemates, because pooled support hours stretch further. Individual living options exist too, and we will tell you honestly which your funding is likely to support.

Who SIL may suit

  • You are moving out of the family home for the first time
  • You are leaving hospital or a rehabilitation setting
  • Your current living arrangement is no longer working
  • You need support available overnight
  • You want your own tenancy with support that comes to you
  • Your informal supports are changing and you need a stable base

Our approach

A house runs on the people in it.

The building matters far less than most brochures suggest. What determines whether a home works is whether the housemates get along, whether the staff stay, and whether anyone asks your opinion about how things are run.
So we roster small, consistent teams to each house rather than rotating whoever is available. House meetings happen monthly and participants set the agenda. And we say no to a placement when the match is wrong, even when the bed is empty and the referral is sitting in front of us.
  • Dedicated team per home, not a floating pool
  • Monthly house meetings with participant-led agendas
  • Written house agreements made together, not handed down
  • Behaviour support plans developed with qualified practitioners

In your own bathroom, on your own schedule.

Skill building

Cooking, budgeting and household routines at your pace.

Resident matching

How we match people to homes

Five steps, and you can stop at any one of them. Nobody moves in on the strength of a profile on paper.
01

Enquiry and chat

We talk through what you are looking for, what your plan funds and what your non-negotiables are.
02

Assessment visit

We meet you where you are now, with family or your coordinator if you would like them there.
03

Shortlist and visits

We show you the homes that genuinely fit, and you visit as many times as you want.
04

Meet your housemates

Coffee first, then a house visit, then usually an overnight or weekend stay.
05

Confirm and move in

Funding confirmed, agreements signed, and we help with the practical side of moving.

Questions

About Supported Independent Living

The staff, not the house. SIL covers the support hours inside your home — personal care, meals, medication, household tasks and overnight cover where your plan funds it. Rent, food and bills are yours, the same as for anyone renting.

No, but shared homes are more common because pooled support hours stretch much further. Individual living options exist, and we will tell you honestly whether your funding is likely to cover one before you get your hopes up.

Slowly, and with your say at every step. Coffee first, then a house visit, then usually an overnight or weekend stay. Nobody moves in on the strength of a profile on paper, and you can stop at any point.

Of course — it is your home. Visiting hours are whatever you and your housemates agree in the house agreement, and family are welcome to stay for meals or overnight where there is room.

Tell us and we will help. Your service agreement sets a notice period, but we will not hold you to a house that is not working. We help you look at other vacancies, ours or another provider’s.

From first enquiry to moving in is usually six to twelve weeks, most of it spent on visits and funding confirmation rather than paperwork. An urgent situation can move faster if a suitable vacancy exists.
