Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded support for independent living that helps people with disabilities live as independently as possible in a shared or individual living arrangement. Unlike traditional care facilities, independent living support focuses on building your skills, confidence, and autonomy while assisting with daily tasks.
Supported Independent Living is most effective when participants receive structured guidance alongside day-to-day support. Access to NDIS Support Coordination can help participants living in SIL understand their plans, connect with appropriate services, and ensure their supports work together to meet their goals while promoting independence and stability.
