Frequently Asked Questions
Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to a type of assistance that helps individuals with disabilities live as independently as possible while receiving tailored support for their daily living needs. SIL often involves shared or individual housing where support staff provide assistance based on the resident’s goals and requirements.
SIL operates by assessing an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences and providing structured support in a home-like environment. This support can include help with personal care, cooking, cleaning, or managing medical needs. Individuals typically live in shared accommodations with others or alone, and the level of support can vary from part-time to 24/7 care, depending on their funding and personal needs.
Services provided in SIL may include:
- Personal care (e.g., bathing, dressing, grooming)
- Household tasks (e.g., cooking, cleaning, laundry)
- Social and community engagement
- Medication management
- Skills development (e.g., budgeting, cooking)
- Transportation assistance
- Emotional and behavioral support
- Yes, SIL is specifically designed to support individuals with disabilities by providing a balance of independence and assistance. It empowers individuals to lead fulfilling lives while ensuring they have the necessary resources and support to manage daily living and participate in the community.
Independent Living: Individuals live entirely on their own, with minimal or no support services, relying on their skills and external resources for daily needs.
Supported Independent Living (SIL): Combines the independence of living in one’s own home with tailored support services to assist with various tasks, ensuring safety and a higher quality of life for those who require assistance.
The affordability of SIL depends on the funding available to the individual, such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Many individuals access SIL services through their NDIS plans, which cover most or all of the associated costs.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) under the NDIS
Supported Independent Living (SIL) under the NDIS is paid support that helps people with disability live in their own home, either alone or shared with others, while building the skills and confidence to live as independently as possible. With SIL NDIS support, a support worker assists at the times and in the ways a person needs, so everyday life is safer, more manageable and more independent.
SIL is for NDIS participants who need a high level of help at home to live safely and work towards their goals. It is often suited to people who need regular support throughout the day, help overnight, or a mix of both, and who want to live in the community rather than in a more institutional setting. The level of support is tailored to each person, their living situation and their goals.
SIL support can include help with daily personal activities such as showering, dressing and meal preparation, as well as household tasks like cleaning, laundry and shopping. It also focuses on building independence skills, including cooking, budgeting, catching public transport and managing a home. Where funded, SIL can include overnight support and 24/7 support, so help is available whenever it is needed.
SIL funding comes from Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life, under the Home and Living category of an NDIS plan. The amount of funding is based on an assessment of the person’s support needs, including how much help they need, when they need it and who else lives with them. SIL funds the support workers, not rent, food or everyday living costs, which are paid separately by the person.
In Campbelltown and surrounding suburbs, Iconic Care Group provides supported independent living NDIS support as part of its Tailored Support services, with support available from 20 hours a week up to 24/7, depending on a person’s funded plan. Support is built around the person’s routines, preferences and goals, and can take place in their own home or in a shared home with housemates. To learn more, read our guide, What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)? A Complete NDIS Guide.
To get started with NDIS SIL, the first step is to talk with the NDIS or a support coordinator about a Home and Living assessment, and to gather evidence about the help needed at home. From there, Iconic Care Group can discuss the person’s goals, living arrangements and support needs, and help work out the right level of support.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded support that helps people with disability live in their own home, either alone or shared with others, while building independence. A support worker assists with everyday tasks at the times and in the ways the person needs. The goal is to help each person live as independently and safely as possible in the community.
SIL support can include help with daily personal activities, such as showering, dressing and preparing meals, as well as household tasks like cleaning, laundry and shopping. It also helps people build independence skills, including cooking, budgeting and managing a home. Where funded, SIL can include overnight support and 24/7 support.
You may be eligible for SIL funding if you are an NDIS participant who needs a high level of help at home to live safely. The NDIS assesses your support needs, your living situation and the evidence from your health professionals. SIL is generally approved when that level of support is found to be reasonable and necessary for you.
SIL is the support provided inside the home, while SDA, or Specialist Disability Accommodation, is the specially designed housing itself. In short, SDA is the house and SIL is the help inside it. A person may receive SIL funding, SDA funding, or both, depending on their needs and their NDIS plan.
The hours of SIL support you can get depend on your assessed support needs and your NDIS plan, and can range from a few hours a week to 24/7 support where that level of help is funded. For example, Iconic Care Group provides SIL support from 20 hours a week up to 24/7, depending on a person's funded plan. Your support coordinator or the NDIS can help you understand what level of support is included in your plan.
To apply for SIL, start by talking with the NDIS, your local area coordinator or a support coordinator about your Home and Living needs. You will need evidence about the help you need at home, such as reports from health professionals and information about your current living situation. The NDIS will then assess whether SIL is reasonable and necessary for you, and if approved, it will be included in your NDIS plan.
