Supported Independent Living (SIL)

If your NDIS plan includes SIL funding, we provide the support you need to live well at home. Our support workers help with everyday things like personal care, meals, medication prompts and getting out into the community, during the day, in the evening or overnight. We provide SIL in Karratha, South Hedland and Perth.

Note: SIL funds the supports to live in a shared home—not the accommodation costs.

What is SIL?

Supported Independent Living is NDIS funding for the help you need with everyday tasks at home. It pays for the support, not the rent or the house itself. Most people with SIL funding share a home with one or two others, with support workers on hand through the day and overnight.

SIL may suit you if you

  • Need help or prompting with personal care most days
  • Need support with meals, medication and daily routines
  • Need someone on hand for safety, including overnight
  • Would like to share a home and split the support with others

Living arrangements

We help explore location, compatibility, and routines. Where helpful, we work with your Support Coordinator and clinicians to identify housemates and set expectations together.

  • You can suggest preferred suburbs or housemates
  • We consider routines, communication, sensory needs
  • Trial visits and warm introductions when possible

Common questions

Can I choose who I live with?

You can tell us who you would like to live with and we will look at whether it works for everyone. It depends on the other person's care plan and NDIS goals as well as your own, so we work through it together with your support coordinator.

Can I try it before I commit?

Yes. We can arrange a short stay first, based on a reference from your support coordinator. It gives you a chance to see how the home and the routine feel before anything is locked in.

What if living with someone does not work out?

Tell us and we will work on it with you. We can look at other options that fit your care plan, alongside recommendations from your support coordinator.

Funding & Roster of Care (RoC)

SIL funding is approved by the NDIA based on assessed support needs. Your RoC outlines the support hours across the week (including overnight where applicable). We review outcomes regularly and adjust the roster when needs change—keeping you and your supports informed.
