What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is support that enables a person with a disability to develop the skills and obtain support that enable them to live in a community-based environment independently. SIL is for someone that needs a certain amount of support in their day-to-day living activities but would love to be in control of their lives and decisions around their way of living. The goal is to enable their independence, safety, and wellbeing, ensuring that a person is assisted in a way that addresses their unique needs.

SIL support is typically provided in a shared accommodation arrangement, in which a person lives with other people that also need such support and is provided support that is tailored to their unique needs. The support provided is adapted to cater to a person’s NDIS plan and unique needs, with staff to provide support for personal needs, day-to-day living needs, medicine management, social engagement, and more.

By providing a tailored, adaptable support approach, SIL allows a person to live to their potential, build their life skills, and be a productive member of their community. The services of SIL not only work to facilitate personal support but also to allow a person to work towards their personal goals, sustain relationships, and enjoy social and recreation programs.
