Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a program offered under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. SIL provides assistance and support to individuals with disabilities, helping them live as independently as possible in their own homes or shared accommodation.
Through the SIL program, participants receive help with daily living tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, housekeeping, and managing finances. The level of support is customised to each participant’s unique needs and goals, with the aim of improving their independence and quality of life.

Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living?
To qualify for Supported Independent Living (SIL) under the NDIS, an individual must have a permanent and significant disability that affects their capacity to live independently. You can read the guidelines here.
This disability must be confirmed by a registered medical practitioner or another qualified health professional. Additionally, the individual must be an NDIS participant and have SIL as part of their NDIS plan.
SIL funding can be used to support participants in various accommodation settings, such as their own home, shared living arrangements, or group homes. The accommodation must be safe, affordable, and appropriate for the participant’s needs, with the provided support aligning with their NDIS plan. The amount of support will be tailored to the participant’s unique needs and goals, as determined by their support provider.
How is the level of support worked out?
The assessment process for determining the level of support needed under the SIL program involves a thorough evaluation of the participant’s needs and goals. This may include assessments of the participant’s functional abilities, communication skills, and any specific health or medical requirements. A qualified healthcare professional or support coordinator usually conducts the assessment, working closely with the participant to identify their needs and create a personalised care plan. This care plan outlines the type and level of support required, along with any specific training or equipment needed to ensure the participant’s safety and well-being.
After the care plan is established, the support provider collaborates with the participant to implement it and offer ongoing support and monitoring. The level of support is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains appropriate and continues to meet the participant’s evolving needs and goals.

Inspire Independent Living Supports offers a range of short-term accommodation and shared living options designed to provide flexible, tailored support for individuals with disabilities. These services cater to participants who require temporary accommodation, whether for respite care, transitional periods, or to explore different living arrangements.
Our short-term accommodation is safe, comfortable, and designed to meet the specific needs of participants. It allows individuals to experience independent living with professional support while giving their usual caregivers a break. Participants can stay for a few days or several weeks, depending on their needs.
Inspire’s shared homes offer a community-based living environment where participants can live with others while receiving the support they need. These homes are designed to promote social interaction, independence, and community engagement, while the support staff assists with daily activities such as personal care, meal preparation, and managing routines.
Both short-term accommodation and shared homes are aligned with the participant’s NDIS plan, ensuring that the support provided is personalised and consistent with their individual goals and needs.
