For many people living with a disability, finding the right support to live independently is a major step toward freedom and confidence. Under the NDIS, Supported Independent Living (SIL) helps individuals gain essential life skills while receiving the care they need in a shared home environment.
What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
SIL is an NDIS-funded support that helps participants with everyday activities such as cooking, cleaning, personal care, and medication management—while encouraging them to live as independently as possible. It’s not just about housing; it’s about empowering daily living.
Each SIL arrangement is personalised, ensuring support aligns with the participant’s unique goals and lifestyle. Homes are designed to be safe, comfortable, and community-oriented, promoting both independence and connection.

Who Is Eligible for SIL?
