Supported Independent Living Melbourne

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)? Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded service designed to help individuals with disabilities live independently. It provides daily support for personal care, household tasks, community participation, skill development, behavioural support, and overnight assistance.

Who is Eligible for SIL?
  • Individuals with high support needs requiring 24/7 assistance.
  • Must be 18-65 years old and hold Australian citizenship, permanent residency, or a protected visa.
  • Participants usually live in shared accommodations with other SIL residents.
How Does SIL Work? Once eligible, NDIS provides SIL funding and connects participants with an NDIA Planner, Local Area Coordinator, or Support Coordinator. A SIL Provider then delivers the required support through a structured care roster. Services are regularly reviewed to ensure effectiveness. SIL Funding: What’s Covered?

  • Assistance from SIL providers
  • Home modifications (e.g., safety rails, ramps)
