Supported Independent Living (SIL)

SIL services are funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) or Continuity of Support (CoS) funding. Our SIL services are suitable for people between the age of 18 and 65 who live with physical or psychosocial disability. Our SIL services provide great opportunity for people with disability to live independently, either in our group/shared accommodation settings or as a single occupant in their own home, while receiving day to day living supports. There are three levels of support provided under our SIL arrangement :

• Lower needs - This support provides supervision of living arrangements as a whole including occasional to intermittent prompting to undertake household tasks and/or self- care activities. This supervision is not usually provided 24/7.

• Standard needs – This support provides 24/7 support including active assistance or supervision of most daily tasks and regular inactive overnight support.



• Higher needs – This support provides intensive 24/7 support including continual, active assistance with all daily tasks, specialised behaviours support and active overnight support.

SIL services are tailored to individual needs based on their funding and can include :

• 24/7 personal care and living supports by our well trained staff.
• Assistance with cooking, cleaning and laundry.
• Active or sleep-in support during night by our staff.
• Assistance with household budgeting and managing money.
• Provide support to attend appointments and other occasions.
