Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a program designed to help individuals with disabilities live independently in the community. SIL provides funding for support services and accommodations that enable individuals to live in their own homes or shared living arrangements with greater autonomy.

SIL services may include assistance with daily living activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care, as well as transportation, social and recreational activities, and support for managing finances and medications. The program is designed to be flexible and tailored to the individual’s needs and preferences.

SIL can be delivered in a range of settings, including individual homes, group homes, and shared living arrangements. The program is funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, and eligibility for the program is determined by an assessment of the individual’s needs and goals.

To be eligible for SIL, the individual must have an NDIS plan that includes funding for support services and accommodations. The individual’s NDIS plan manager will work with them to identify the specific services and supports they need to achieve their goals and live independently in the community.

SIL is designed to promote greater independence, choice, and control for individuals with disabilities. It recognizes that everyone’s needs and preferences are unique, and that support services should be tailored to meet those needs. By providing individuals with the support they need to live independently, SIL can help them to achieve their goals, build their skills and confidence, and participate more fully in their communities.
