What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a service to assist people with disabilities to live independently to the highest degree with access to what is needed to have control over aspects of daily life. SIL is a tailored method to provide individuals with a solution to have control over their own care, daily life skills, social aspects, and safety.

The key to SIL is to balance autonomy with assistance. It allows individuals with disabilities to live in their own homes or shared accommodation and have a helping hand from trained staff with issues like care in a personal way, cooking, medication, etc. It is to provide a system in which individuals can learn and develop required life skills and are assisted in issues that may be challenging for them given their disability.

SIL services are individualized, with support being delivered according to specific individual need and preference. This can include such tasks as housework, social occasions, attending appointments, or traveling using public transport. SIL is focused on social integration, with a focus on enabling individuals to access community activities and lead rich and fulfilling lives.

With SIL, individuals have control over where and with whom they live, either in their own dwelling or in shared accommodation with housemates. There is a balance between being independent and having their dignity and privacy maintained and being able to have direction and guidance in those areas where they require. SIL is a core aspect of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) and is designed to provide people with disabilities with a more independent and meaningful life.
