NDIS-Funded Housing Service

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded shared accommodation model. It involves living with one or more people with similar personalities and needs, supported by our staff in daily living aspects.


At Supportive Care Australia in Adelaide, we service the entire state of South Australia. Our staff help participants with daily tasks in both independent and shared living environments, focusing on developing skills for independent living.


Support is tailored to each person’s needs and involves participants, their families or advocates in planning and choosing their support staff to ensure they receive the necessary assistance to live independently in their chosen housing option.

Applying for SIL: Steps 1–3

Applying for SIL in South Australia involves several steps to ensure that the accommodation and support services meet your specific needs. Here’s a guide to help you through the process:


1. Determine Eligibility:


Ensure you are eligible for SIL through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). SIL is designed for individuals with disabilities who require support with daily living activities. Check the NDIS website or contact the NDIS directly to confirm your eligibility.


2. NDIS Plan:


If you are eligible, you need to have an NDIS plan that includes funding for SIL. During your NDIS planning meeting, discuss your need for SIL with your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC). They will help you identify the necessary supports and include them in your plan.


3. Find a Service Provider:


Research and contact service providers in South Australia who offer SIL. Supportive Care Australia is one such provider, offering personalised support to meet individual needs. It’s important to find a provider that aligns with your preferences and requirements.

4. Assessment and Planning:


Once you select a provider, you will undergo an assessment to determine your specific needs and preferences. This involves discussions with you, your family or your advocates to create a tailored support plan. The plan should outline the level of support required and the types of activities and tasks you need assistance with.


5. Application Submission:


Submit your application to the chosen service provider. This will typically include your NDIS plan, assessment results and any other relevant documentation. The provider will review your application and discuss the next steps with you.


6. Funding Approval:


Ensure that your NDIS plan is approved with the necessary funding for SIL. Your NDIS planner or LAC can assist with this process and make any necessary adjustments to your plan.


7. Move-In and Support:


Once everything is in place, you can move into your SIL accommodation. The provider will help ensure that your support plan is implemented, and you will begin receiving the tailored support needed for independent living.
