Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Stable, Structured NDIS Housing Designed for Long-Term Independence

The right home changes everything.

Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides long-term, professionally supported NDIS housing where adults with disability can live with dignity, safety and genuine consistency. We create calm, carefully matched shared homes that support independence while ensuring the right level of daily assistance is always in place.

What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that helps participants live as independently as possible in a shared or individual home setting.

SIL funding covers the support services provided in the home, including:

  • 24/7 support workers where required
  • Assistance with personal care and daily living
  • Medication management
  • Skill development and independence building
  • Structured routines and household support

SIL does not pay for rent or utilities. It funds the professional disability support services delivered within the home.

A calm, professionally managed home environment

We believe independence grows best in a stable environment.

Our SIL homes are intentionally designed to feel safe, structured and comfortable. We maintain low-capacity households to protect the dynamic of the home and ensure participants receive consistent, high-quality disability support.

Each home offers:

  • Comfortable private bedrooms
  • Shared living spaces designed for ease and accessibility
  • Experienced, consistent support staff
  • Clear daily routines
  • Safe, well-maintained disability accommodation

We treat every home as a long-term commitment, not just a placement.

We match people, not just vacancies

Shared living works when the right people live together.

Before confirming a SIL placement, we carefully assess:

  • Support levels and supervision needs
  • Communication styles
  • Personal interests and routines
  • Sensory and behavioural considerations
  • Lifestyle compatibility

Our thoughtful matching process is designed to reduce conflict, encourage positive relationships and create smooth, respectful shared living.
