NDIS provider in Central Coast, Newcastle, Sydney

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of disability support funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It is specifically designed for those with high support needs, requiring assistance throughout the day, including overnight support. The NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) promotes self-reliance by providing individuals with the necessary support to live independently while developing essential life skills. Self-reliance is vital for people with disabilities as it enables them to take control of their lives. Being self-reliant means, they are better prepared to live fulfilling lives, regardless
of changing circumstances such as their disability support needs.

SIL services are tailored to each individual’s needs, promoting independence by addressing specific areas where support is needed. This personalised approach helps individuals gain confidence in their abilities. Participants in SIL have the opportunity to make choices about their living arrangements and the support they receive. This type of decision-making fosters self-reliance by allowing individuals to take ownership of their lives. SIL also focuses on teaching and improving daily living skills such as cooking, cleaning, personal care, and other essential independent living tasks. This allows participants to manage their day-to-day lives with greater autonomy. Living in a supportive and structured environment provided by SIL support workers allows individuals to engage with their communities, manage their health and well-being and set life goals for themselves. This encourages them to
take on more responsibilities gradually, building self-reliance over time. When individuals with disabilities can navigate their living environments independently, they are more likely to participate in society which leads to a fulfilling life.
