What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a service provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that offers individuals with disabilities the necessary support to live as independently as possible in a community setting. SIL services are designed to assist people with tasks such as personal care, household management, social engagement, and personal safety while promoting their autonomy. These supports are tailored to each individual’s needs, empowering them to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

SIL focuses on providing the right level of assistance to individuals based on their unique care needs. For some, this may mean 24/7 support, while for others, it could be less intensive, with help provided on a more flexible schedule. The goal is to ensure that individuals are not only supported in daily activities but also have the opportunity to develop skills and build confidence to live independently in their own home.

A key component of SIL is that it encourages individuals to take part in decision-making and empowers them to control aspects of their lives, such as managing their household and social activities. SIL fosters a strong sense of community and belonging, helping individuals interact with their housemates, engage in social activities, and participate in the broader community.
