The purpose of SIL Accommodation

One of the NDIS funding categories that offer services to individuals with disabilities is supported independent living. Independent support living is a particular sort of help only available to individuals who qualify. People with disabilities are given these aids. These services are for those who require support around-the-clock while residing in a shared home. Disabled individuals receive Supported Independent Living support while they live with others. Many persons with impairments cannot live independently and need services for daily living. 

Under these programmes, people with impairments will receive assistance with daily duties, including cooking, cleaning, and personal care. Along with helping persons with disabilities live more comfortably, SIL also assists them in enhancing their life skills. SIL permits households with between two and seven occupants, each of whom will have their room. People with disabilities can speak with others and develop their social skills because of SIL.

  • Your own home or a residence that your family has acquired for you to reside in Specialized Disability Accommodation (SDA) 
  • Provider-managed housing in a public or non-profit building.
  • SIL is suitable for shared housing situations with two to seven residents, with costs split among numerous NDIS members.
