NDIS Supported Independent Living Sydney
Do you want your own perfect space to suit your needs or to share with friends? Either you’re seeking a brief stay or a cozy home for an extended period, we provide the right space for you with our NDIS SIL services across Sydney.
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a shared living arrangement for people with disabilities who have SIL funding in their NDIS plan and want to live more independently in the community with the right level of support. It provides 24/7 or on-site assistance from support staff who help with daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, medication support, and other individual needs in a safe and comfortable home environment. Each SIL home is constructed with appropriate living arrangements and staffing support to satisfy the requirements of all housemates who live there.
Support is tailored to each person’s goals and may include guidance for those living independently for the first time, helping them adjust to shared living and build confidence in a group setting. It also focuses on developing everyday life skills such as managing household responsibilities, maintaining a healthy routine, preparing meals, and completing daily chores.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What is Supported Independent Living?
Supported independent living is NDIS funding that assists people with disabilities in living as independently as possible. SIL funding is typically reserved for people who require round-the-clock assistance while living in a shared home. SIL can be provided in shared accommodation or your own home, depending on your goals and support needs.
What’s the difference between SIL and SDA?
What happens if I become sick while living in Supported Independent Living?
If you become sick while living in SIL accommodation, our support team workers will provide assistance based on your individual support needs and health requirements. We will assist you with medication routines, personal care, attend doctor appointments, or communicate with health professionals to maintain continuity of care. We will provide additional daily support until you recover safely.
Can SIL support be provided in my own home?
Yes, SIL support can be delivered in your own home, maintaining familiar routines, if it aligns with your support requirements and NDIS funding approval. For example, if you are living independently or with family you can receive SIL support for household tasks, medication routines, community participation, and overnight supervision.
How do I apply for SIL funding?
To access SIL funding, you must demonstrate to the NDIS that you need regular assistance with daily living activities. This involves assessments, reports from healthcare professionals, and evidence explaining your support needs. Once approved, your Local Area Coordinator or support coordinator can help develop a roster of care and identify suitable SIL accommodation or support arrangements.
With how many people would I be living?
There is no fixed number of people in SIL accommodation, you may live alone, with one roommate, or in a shared home with multiple residents. It depends on the type of home, your support needs, and personal preferences. Some participants prefer quieter homes with fewer people, while others enjoy social settings, so we match your living arrangements that suits your personality, comfort, and support needs.
How do I transition into SIL accommodation?
The transition into SIL accommodation begins with personalised planning, assessing your support needs, and goals and choosing suitable accommodation to settle you into your new home. Once a suitable home is identified, we will assist you with move planning, orientation, organise supports, and ensure you feel comfortable in the new environment.
Can my family be involved in the SIL transition process?
Yes, family members are involved throughout the SIL transition process to help you feel more confident and secure when moving into supported accommodation. Families are often involved in planning meetings, property visits, support discussions, and transition planning to create smoother communication and ensure you feel comfortable and supported.
