Feel at Home. Live Your Way - with The Right Support.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) helps you live as independently as possible in a safe, comfortable home, while still receiving the support you need day to day. We assist with daily tasks, medication support, and creating an environment where residents feel respected, included, and truly at home.

“Independence, confidence, and comfort—at your pace.”

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

SIL isn't just "help" - it's about empowerment. It supports you with everyday tasks, skill-building, and personal care when needed. This might look like learning to prepare your favourite meals, managing household chores, or building confidence using public transport - all at a pace that feels right for you.

We customise SIL support to your preferences and goals, whether you prefer shared living or one-on-one support in your own home.

Can SIL support be provided in my home?
Yes, SIL support can be delivered in your own home or in a shared arrangement, depending on your NDIS plan and personal goals.
How much does SIL cost?
Costs are covered by your NDIS funding. The specific amount depends on the level of support required (ratios of staff to participants) and the complexity of your needs.
What skills can I develop through SIL?
You can develop a wide range of daily living skills including cooking, cleaning, budgeting, using public transport, and social interaction skills.
Do you offer 24/7 support?
Yes, we provide 24/7 support and supervision for participants who require round-the-clock assistance to ensure safety and wellbeing.
