What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support service that helps people with disability live as independently as possible while receiving the daily assistance they need in a shared or individual home.

SIL funding covers regular support with everyday tasks, such as personal care, meal preparation, household management, medication support, and building independent living skills. The level of support is based on each participant’s individual needs, goals, and functional capacity, not on the property itself.

SIL is designed for participants who require ongoing support throughout the day or overnight, often delivered through a structured roster of care by trained support workers. It focuses on long-term stability, safety, and improved quality of life.

At Healthy Support WA, we deliver SIL in Perth through person-centred support plans that prioritise choice, dignity, and consistency, while aligning fully with NDIS requirements.

How Supported Independent Living Works at Healthy Support WA

We follow a clear, structured process to ensure Supported Independent Living arrangements are appropriate, sustainable, and aligned with each participant’s NDIS plan.

Initial Consultation & Eligibility Review

We begin with a conversation to understand the participant’s needs, goals, current supports, and NDIS funding. This helps confirm whether SIL is suitable and what level of support is required.

Assessment & Support Planning

Our team works alongside the participant, their family or nominee, and their support coordinator to develop a person-centred SIL support plan, including the required roster of care and daily assistance needs.

Matching & Living Arrangements

Where shared living applies, we carefully consider compatibility, safety, and support requirements to promote a stable and respectful home environment.

Ongoing Support & Review

SIL supports are continuously monitored and adjusted as needs change. We maintain regular communication to ensure supports remain effective, consistent, and aligned with NDIS outcomes.
