SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of support funded by the NDIS. It helps you live as independently as possible in a home you share with other NDIS participants or by yourself. SIL is for people who need a certain level of support to complete daily tasks due to their disability. This funding helps cover the cost of support workers who can assist you with tasks like cooking, cleaning, personal care, and community participation. Easy Life Home Care provides SIL services that are tailored to your needs, ensuring you receive the right support to live the life you choose.
Our SIL Support Areas
Assistance with daily personal activities, including showering, dressing, eating, and mobility.
Support to develop and maintain household management skills, such as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting.
Assistance to participate in community activities, appointments, and social events, fostering independence and inclusion.
SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is sometimes called shared accommodation. SIL is an NDIS support where a person with a disability lives with others. Supported Independent Living is funded under Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life in your NDIS plan. You will also receive support with everyday tasks like cleaning, cooking and personal care. The NDIS does not fund the cost of rent, board, transport, and other day-to-day expenses such as food and activities.
Who is eligible for SIL Funding?
The NDIS provides funding for Supported Independent Living, based on whether this is a support that is reasonable and necessary for you. An individual must have SIL noted in their NDIS plan in order to access this funding.
SIL is best suited for participants who have high disability support needs and require a significant amount of assistance throughout the day.
During your NDIS planning meeting, your NDIS planner will consider a number of things when determining whether SIL is the right support for you, including:
Your individual circumstances and needs
Your age (18-65)
Your goals and preferences
Your independence, living skills and capacity-building needs
If modifications to your home or assistive technology may increase your independence and safety
Information, reports and assessments provided by you, health professionals and providers
If you need person-to-person support
Other home and living options that might suit you
What is value for money
What is difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL is the NDIS funding you will be allocated to receive support within the home in order for you to live as independently as possible. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is dedicated accessible housing for NDIS participants. SDA properties include accessibility options. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is assessed and funded separately to SIL through Capital Supports.
You can live in an SDA house while receiving SIL funding to assist you with your daily living activities. You can receive SIL funding without the need for SDA. This means you may not require specialist housing, but still require the levels of support that SIL provides.
Please note: We bill in line with the NDIS Price Guide, which generally increases annually.
Can you use SIL funding for your own residence?
Supported Independent Living happens in your own home, whether you live on your own or with other people. Based on your needs, your NDIS planner will help you determine whether you are eligible for and if SIL is the best funding for your situation. There may be other Individual disability accommodations & support that suit you better.
