Supported Independent Living (SIL) is assistance with or supervision of daily tasks to ensure NDIS participants can live as independently as possible in their own homes.
It includes paid support to build skills and increase capacity in a home setting, most commonly used in shared living arrangements.
In order to be approved for SIL support funding, you must follow an application process.
Do you have home and living arrangements as a goal in your NDIS plan? If not, we can support you through this process. It may take approx 6 weeks. Please note that it will require a change of circumstance to be lodged with the NDIA.
Once you have Home and Living arrangements as a stated goal in your NDIS plan, you may engage your preferred allied health professional for a capacity assessment to determine eligibility. This can take approx 1-2 months depending on availability.
Once the allied health reports are completed, you may begin searching for, and engaging with, your preferred SIL provider. Refer to our site regarding what things you should consider when searching for a SIL provider.
Your chosen SIL provider will assist with your SIL Submission documents, allied health reports, and an additional change of circumstance to the NDIA. The NDIA will take time to consider your application and if you are eligible for SIL supports. This can take a few weeks or months.
If your application is accepted, the NDIA will approve your SIL funding and issue a new NDIS plan. You may begin planning with your SIL provider for a smooth transition into your new home.
If you are denied SIL support, it is important to request details of the decision making to allow you an opportunity to request a review with additional supporting evidence if appropriate.
