When you’re dealing with limitations, it’s easy to feel like you can’t accomplish anything. Simple tasks and even chores can take up most of your day.
That said, you don’t need to do everything on your own. Find dedicated support that assists you in accomplishing everything that you need to get done. Simplify your day, and have the time to focus on what matters to you.
In this economy, even necessities can cost an arm and a leg. Managing finances is hard, especially when disability-related costs come into play.
Access to care shouldn’t come with a hefty price tag. With transparent pricing and subsidised plans through the NDIS Supported Independent Living Program, you can feel confident that costs won’t hold you back from getting the help you need to live the life you want.

SIL helps you get the support you need while keeping your independence. From home support, to help with transportation and appointments, here is how it works:
Get in-house support, including convenient assistance for tasks, as well as round-the-clock support with sleepover arrangements. This gives you the help you need whenever it's required.
Includes learning essential tasks like housekeeping (including shopping, cooking, and cleaning), personal care (such as showering, dressing, and personal hygiene), social skills development (including meeting new people and engaging in activities with friends), and budgeting (covering expenses like food, transportation, and holidays).
Includes help with transportation so you can get to and from appointments and activities. This also includes help with booking appointments, and managing them, so that you’re on time, every time.
Imagine finding a support system that recognises your strengths, celebrates your achievements, and respects your independence. A team that knows while you may need help with personal tasks, you’re fully capable of making informed decisions for your life.
You are more than what you can and cannot do. Never feel like a burden ever again. Find support that leaves you understood, valued, and empowered.

The program is a type of NDIS support that helps individuals with higher support needs live as independently as possible. Unlike other supports that may focus on specific tasks or activities, SIL provides ongoing assistance with daily tasks and living arrangements. It typically involves support with personal care, household chores, and supervision, among other things.
Supported Independent Living is suitable for NDIS participants who require higher levels of support to live independently. If you find that your current living arrangements don’t meet your support needs or if you’re struggling with daily tasks such as cooking meals or personal care, SIL may be the right option for you. It’s essential to discuss your needs with your support coordinator or NDIS planner to determine the best living arrangement for your situation.
There are various living options to choose from. This includes shared accommodation with other NDIS participants, living arrangements with a dedicated support worker, or access to specialist disability accommodation (SDA) for those with specific housing requirements. Your NDIS planner can help you explore these options and find the best fit for your support needs.
Supported Independent Living provides the assistance and support necessary for individuals with disability to live as independently as possible.
