Frequently Asked Questions About Supported Independent Living
What is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support for eligible participants who need assistance with daily living and want to build greater independence. Support can include help with personal care, household activities, meal preparation, life skills and community participation.
The type and level of support depend on each participant’s individual needs, goals and NDIS plan.
Who is eligible for NDIS SIL?
SIL is generally designed for NDIS participants who have higher support needs and require ongoing assistance with daily living. The NDIS considers individual circumstances and support requirements when determining whether SIL funding is appropriate.
Eligibility and funding are assessed through the NDIS planning process, and the level of support can differ from person to person.
Can SIL support help me become more independent?
Yes. SIL can support participants to develop practical skills and confidence in everyday activities. This may include learning to prepare meals, manage household tasks, follow daily routines, participate in the community and make decisions about personal goals.
The aim is to provide the right level of assistance while encouraging participants to build skills and maintain as much choice and control as possible.
Does Supported Independent Living include accommodation?
SIL funding is designed to cover the support a participant receives to help with daily living and does not generally pay for rent or the cost of the physical accommodation itself. Participants may have separate arrangements for their home or accommodation.
Depending on individual circumstances, accommodation-related supports may be considered separately from SIL. Our team can help participants understand how their support needs may relate to services such as accommodation and home modifications.
Where does Above & Beyond Carers provide SIL support?
Above & Beyond Carers provides personalised support across Sydney and Western Sydney, including areas such as Parramatta, Guildford, Blacktown, Liverpool, Bankstown, Penrith, Campbelltown, Fairfield and Auburn.
We may also support participants in Canterbury, the Inner West Sydney area and other locations depending on individual needs and service availability.
