SIL Services and Support: How Supported Independent Living Empowers NDIS Participants

At Visionary Respite and Care, we provide comprehensive SIL services and support that empower individuals to live independently with confidence, dignity, and community connection. Our approach is grounded in person-centred care, providing everything from daily living support and personal care assistance to social engagement and skill-building.

Whether you’re looking for supported accommodation, help within your current home, or a fresh start in a new living arrangement, our team is here to guide you. As trusted SIL service providers, we support participants in aligning their living environments with their personal goals. To learn more about how we deliver high-quality NDIS supported living, explore our main SIL page.

Understanding SIL Services, Supports and Shared Living Options

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of NDIS supported living that offers practical help with everyday tasks while promoting independence. These services are typically delivered in shared living arrangements or in private residences for those who prefer individualised support.

Unlike general home care, SIL is specifically designed to help participants gain the skills and confidence to manage their own lives. This might include:

Personal care support (NDIS): Help with showering, toileting, dressing, and grooming.
Domestic assistance: Cooking meals, doing laundry, shopping, and cleaning.
Health and medication management: Supporting safe and timely medication routines.
Life skill development: Learning to budget, schedule appointments, and use public transport.
Behavioural and emotional support tailored to individual needs.

These in-home disability support options are tailored to each participant's ability level and lifestyle goals, ensuring that every person receives the care they need in a way that respects their independence.

Exploring Supported Accommodation and NDIS Housing Options

We offer a range of NDIS housing options to support every level of independence and care needs:

Shared Living Arrangements

Participants live with others in a safe, inclusive home with 24/7 support staff. This model promotes social interaction, peer learning, and shared responsibility. It’s perfect for individuals who thrive in a community-oriented setting.

Individualised In-Home Support

For participants who prefer to remain in their own home or rental, in-home disability support can be arranged. This option allows for comfort and familiarity, while still providing regular, reliable assistance with daily tasks and routines.

Tailored Supported Accommodation

Transitioning from family care? Ready for a more independent living situation? Our team can help you explore customised supported accommodation options, including transitional housing or homes fitted for higher needs, with support services integrated based on your plan.

We work closely with families, guardians, and support coordinators to ensure each accommodation aligns with the participant's needs, preferences, and long-term aspirations.

Building Independence Through SIL

Our SIL services are built to encourage personal growth. Every aspect of our support is focused on helping participants live more independently while feeling safe, supported, and confident in their own abilities.

We focus on developing practical life skills and creating meaningful opportunities for community involvement. Participants are encouraged to build strong foundations in their daily lives that can lead to greater self-reliance and fulfillment.

Our team supports participants to:

Master home management skills like budgeting, meal prep, and cleaning
Build confidence through social engagement and community participation support
Strengthen communication skills and develop healthy routines
Foster independence while reducing reliance on carers or family

We believe that independent living for people with disabilities means having choice and control. Our role is to walk alongside you with the right supports in place to help you thrive at your pace.

Accessing SIL Services Through the NDIS

SIL is funded under the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan. If you require regular assistance at home and have goals related to building independence, SIL may be the right fit for you.

To be eligible:

You must have significant support needs that require consistent assistance
Your NDIS plan should reflect goals around independent or supported living
You will usually need a functional assessment and quote to determine funding needs

Visionary Respite and Care can support you in:

Understanding your eligibility
Navigating NDIS application and review processes
Preparing supporting documents and provider quotes

Our experience ensures that no detail is missed, helping you access the support you need without the overwhelm.
