What Is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living, commonly called SIL, provides assistance or supervision with everyday activities within a participant's home.
The level of support varies depending on individual circumstances and approved funding. SIL may involve shared or individual support arrangements and, where required and funded, support across different times of the day or night.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) can include
- Personal care
- Meal preparation
- Household tasks
- Laundry
- Daily routines
- Independent living skills
- Assistance with appointments
- Community participation
Your Supported Independent Living (SIL) Journey
From the first conversation through to settling into your home.
Creating a home life that can grow with you
-
A successful Supported Independent Living arrangement needs to work well beyond the initial move.Goals, abilities, relationships and support requirements can change over time, which is why Lifest HealthCare approaches Supported Independent Living in Brisbane as an evolving partnership rather than a fixed model of support. Ongoing communication helps Lifest understand what is working, where additional assistance may be required and where participants may be ready to take greater responsibility within their home.
-
For Lifest HealthCare, a successful SIL arrangement is also about creating an environment that genuinely feels like home.Having opportunities to contribute to household decisions, personalise living spaces, maintain important relationships and build routines around work, study, recreation or community life can all contribute to a stronger sense of belonging. Lifest aims to provide support when it is needed without allowing support itself to define the participant's home life.
SIL is the support a participant receives within their home. A SIL arrangement often sits alongside personal care support and community access support as part of everyday life.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
SIL primarily relates to paid support or supervision rather than the cost of the property itself.
-
Not necessarily. Arrangements depend on the participant's circumstances and approved supports.
-
Where appropriate and included within a participant's supports, overnight assistance may form part of the arrangement.
-
Participants generally retain choice and control over their providers, subject to service agreements and NDIS requirements.
Your home should feel like your home.
Support should fit around your routines, preferences and goals. SIL is support, not the house itself; housing arrangements such as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) are separate.
