NDIS SIL(Supported Independent Living)

NDIS SIL(Supported Independent Living) image
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS funding for help or supervision with daily tasks at home. It is intended for people with high support needs, including support throughout the day and overnight. SIL funds support workers; it does not pay for the home itself.

Who may need SIL?

The NDIA describes SIL as potentially suitable for someone needing a worker present 24 hours a day, including assistance with daily activities for at least eight hours and some help or supervision during the remaining hours. The NDIA considers each person's disability support needs. An NDIS plan or a wish to move out of home does not by itself establish eligibility for SIL.

What can SIL help with?

Support may involve personal care, preparing meals and household tasks. Workers may be shared or individual according to assessed needs; one-to-one SIL is funded only in limited situations. Rent, groceries and other ordinary living expenses are separate. Other home and living options may suit some people better. Read the NDIA's current SIL guidance.

Agree on support and housing arrangements separately

Approval for SIL does not automatically match you to a property or confirm a provider's staff and availability. Before choosing an arrangement, discuss your routines, communication preferences, the support required at different times and how shared support would work. Clarify who manages the housing agreement and which costs you would pay yourself.

For a conversation with Choice, describe your location, current plan and the assistance you need. Ask which services are available and what must be confirmed before support starts. See our SIL and ILO service information or contact Choice Support Tasmania. Funding decisions remain with the NDIA.
