Supported Independent Living

Live Independently With the Right Support

SIL can provide regular or 24/7 assistance with daily living in your own home or a shared living arrangement — based on your assessed needs and NDIS funding.

Daily Tasks & Shared Living

Your Home, Your Way

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS support that helps eligible people with disability live as independently as possible, with assistance for daily tasks provided at the level approved in their NDIS plan.

Whether you live in your own home, share with others, or live in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Twinkle Care can provide the SIL support component in line with your needs and funding. SDA is the accommodation itself and is separate from the SIL support service.

Common Questions

SIL FAQs

SIL is for NDIS participants who need regular or daily support with daily tasks in their home. It is typically for people who need high levels of daily support to live independently.

SIL covers the cost of support workers in your home rather than the home itself. It can include active nights (a worker awake overnight) or sleepover support, and is tailored to your specific daily tasks and goals.

Your living arrangement depends on your circumstances, housing options and NDIS funding. Twinkle Care can discuss the SIL support you need whether you live alone or share with others.

SIL funding needs to be included in your NDIS plan. Your NDIS planner, support coordinator and relevant allied health professionals can help determine and document your support needs. We can provide information about the SIL services Twinkle Care can deliver once funding and support requirements are understood.
