Supported Independent Living
What Does SIL Funding Include?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a funded support service that assists with daily activities such as dressing, meal preparation, and other personal tasks. It also helps develop skills for greater independence and is available for those living in shared housing.
For individuals living alone, alternative support options may be more suitable. SIL funding specifically covers the cost of support workers, not expenses like rent or groceries. It is ideal for those requiring significant daily assistance, with funding allocated based on the level of support needed to live independently in their chosen housing arrangement.
Who is Eligible To Receive SIL Support?
Eligibility for Supported Independent Living (SIL) is determined based on several factors, including:
- High support needs: SIL is for individuals who require significant assistance throughout the day.
- Permanent disability: Eligibility is based on having a long-term, permanent disability.
- NDIS participation: You must be an NDIS participant to access SIL support.
- Personal circumstances: Factors such as age, goals, preferences, and level of independence are considered.
- Skill development: If you need support to improve your daily living skills and independence, you may qualify.
- Home modifications and assistive technology: If changes to your home or assistive devices are needed for independent living, SIL may be an option.
- Safety requirements: Assessments from healthcare professionals, service providers, and personal reports help determine if SIL is suitable.
