Supported Independent Living
Find the right housing so you can live more independently, while receiving the support you need.
What is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is when you live in shared housing with other people or on your own with support from us.
That support is different depending on your specific needs, but it can include help with:
- Moving out for the first time
- Learning to live well with others in a group setting
- Dealing with the responsibilities of living in your own home
- Getting ready for the day, eating healthily, and keeping well
- Completing household tasks

There are different housing terms that might appear in your NDIS plan to help meet different needs. We can help with:
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Your permanent home in shared accommodation or on your own
Medium-term accommodation

→Why should I choose Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living is a great way to feel more independent, while having easy access to your supports.
Depending on your situation, we can either help you find appropriate housing, work with your existing housing provider, or support you in your own home.
Our Disability Support Workers can be there 24/7 or they can provide day-to-day assistance. All our accommodation is designed to make you feel comfortable, safe and at home.
We’d love for you to get in touch with us to discuss what you’re looking for and how we can support you.
I’m interested – what do I do now?
We offer shared and supported living in most states and territories.
