Daily Tasks / Shared Living

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a shared living arrangement of 2 to 7 NDIS participants that provides 24/7 support. The arrangement assists people with disabilities with everyday tasks. Each resident is funded individually, and each resident’s funding reflects the support each resident receives while living in the home.

Group or individual care will help you manage your daily life chores within your home. Advanced Care services include: 

• Preparing meals and cooking while maintaining personal hygiene 
• Dispensing medicine 

• Learning to take public transportation 
• Socialising with other housemates 
• Trips to medical appointments or recreation. 

You will only receive SIL funding after securing a house and housemates if you are eligible. We can assist in submitting funding requests to the NDIS for approval once these steps have been completed.

Your funding for the NDIS is only for support needs and is based on the level of care you need for your resident. Services that are NOT covered by the NDIS include: 

• The rent for the house; 

• Fees for activities or supplies while hospitalised, such as food; 
• Assistive technology, transport costs, the day program, and work are also covered in the NDIS price guide. 

As a rule, the NDIA will also fund reasonable and necessary supports related or incidental to home modifications, including moving to accessible premises instead of modifying the home to make it accessible when that is a cost-effective method to provide access.
