What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides eligible Australians aged under 65, who have a permanent and significant disability with funding for supports and services. For many people, their NDIS funding is used for the purpose of improving, maintaining or gaining new skills in order for them to live the highest quality life as independently as possible.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is when people with disabilities receive support, usually 24/7, to help each person live as independently as possible. The accommodation provided is shared between two to seven people. It is sometimes referred to as group accommodation. People who live in SIL houses also receive day-to-day support with tasks including community participation, cleaning, cooking and assistance with personal care. SIL is funded under the NDIS through a participant’s Core Supports but is not part of their flexible budget. SIL is a quoted, agreed upon support item. At YAC all our participants are part of the household routines and decisions. We know it is important that people click and get along. Tell us what you like or do not like in a housemate, and we will do our best to match you with people who tick your boxes and have similar interests.

Advantages of support independent living
“SIL has gained popularity among NDIS participants due to the numerous benefits it offers to individuals living with disabilities. At Yiga Ability Care, we provide support independent living in Perth and other locations, and you can expect the following benefits from our programs.
Enhanced independence: SIL promotes independence and self-determination as it allows participants to have the freedom to make their own choices about their daily routines, personal goals, and living arrangements, resulting in extended independence in everyday life.
Making new friends: Opting to support independent living is not all about moving out and staying under the supervision of expert carers; it is also a great opportunity to expand one’s social circles. It allows for making new friends in shared communal areas that share similar interests and thoughts among similar age groups, and social engagement results in strong mental health.
Personalised support: Unlike homes, our Support independent living in Brisbane or other locations we provide is fully backed by all the supporters and equipment that are essential for people living with disabilities. More personalised support provides them with a much higher quality of life experience.
