Introduction

Home is more than just a place to live—it’s where you build independence, create memories, develop relationships, and live life on your own terms. For people with disabilities who have higher support needs, finding the right balance between independence and assistance can be challenging. You want the freedom to make your own choices while having the security of knowing professional support is always available when you need it.

What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Before exploring our services, let’s understand what SIL means.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded assistance with daily personal activities and living skills provided in a shared living environment. SIL is designed for people with disabilities who have higher support needs and want to live as independently as possible while receiving round-the-clock assistance when needed.

SIL is about empowerment, choice, and control. It provides the support structure that enables you to develop life skills, build relationships, participate in your community, and achieve your personal goals while living in your own home environment.

Important: SIL funding covers the support you receive—not accommodation costs like rent, utilities, food, or personal expenses. These remain your responsibility, just like anyone else living independently.

At SADC, we understand that SIL is not just accommodation—it’s your foundation for building the independent life you want.

Understanding the Need for Supported Independent Living

Many NDIS participants with higher support needs face challenges in finding appropriate living arrangements, including:

  • Limited options between family care and institutional settings
  • Lack of 24/7 support availability in independent housing
  • Difficulty accessing community services and opportunities
  • Challenges developing independent living skills
  • Social isolation and limited peer connections
  • Inadequate support for complex health and care needs
  • Barriers to community participation and employment
  • Family caregiver burnout and aging concerns

SIL provides a supported pathway to independence that addresses these challenges while respecting your right to choice, control, and dignity in your living arrangements.

At SADC Disability Services, we don’t just provide accommodation—we create homes where independence flourishes and communities thrive.


Our Philosophy: Your Home, Your Choice, Your Independence

Our SIL services are grounded in a person-centered, rights-based philosophy. That means:

  • Your home should reflect your personality, preferences, and culture
  • You have the right to make choices about your daily life
  • Support should enhance independence, not create dependence
  • Community inclusion and participation are fundamental rights
  • Relationships and social connections are essential for wellbeing

Our team consists of qualified, experienced support workers who understand that SIL is about supporting your vision of a good life, not imposing predetermined outcomes or routines.
