Supported Independent Living

One essential component of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Supported Independent Living (SIL), which aims to help people with disabilities become more independent in their living arrangements.

This type of Bethel support recognises the various requirements of people and aims to provide them with the help they require in order to live as independently as possible.

Supported Independent Living doesn't just pertain to accommodation but encompasses a range of support services that cater to individual requirements. It aims to facilitate individuals to reside within a shared living environment, fostering independence while ensuring appropriate care and support are available when needed.


One of the core tenets of SIL is its tailor-made approach. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution but rather a personalised plan catering to the specific needs and goals of each participant. Whether the individual needs support with daily living tasks, household activities, or building social skills, SIL offers assistance accordingly.


SIL offers a diverse range of features that cater to varying needs. This includes round-the-clock support, assistance with personal care, housekeeping, and essential life skills. Additionally, SIL homes are typically designed or modified to accommodate various disabilities, ensuring accessibility and safety.


Participants in SIL generally reside in a shared living arrangement, often with others who may also require support. Support workers or carers are available on-site or nearby, providing assistance as needed while encouraging and fostering individual capabilities. This setup ensures that the residents receive the support necessary to lead fulfilling lives while learning and practicing essential skills for independence.

Benefits of Supported Independent Living and their Eligibility

Supported Independent Living offers an array of advantages. In addition to empowering people by encouraging independence and self-assurance, it also strengthens a feeling of community. Living alongside peers and support staff promotes social engagement, skill development, and experience sharing, all of which improve quality of life overall.

Eligibility for SIL is determined through an assessment by the NDIS, considering individual needs and goals. The process involves discussing living preferences, necessary supports, and the type of accommodation suitable for the participant. Once deemed eligible, participants can access SIL as part of their NDIS plan.
