Top Supported Independent Living (SIL) Providers in Queensland

Supported Independent Living (SIL) funds the day-to-day support that helps participants with higher needs live in a shared home — help with personal care, meals, medication, household routines, and building daily-living skills, usually alongside other participants. SIL pays for the support inside the home, not the rent or the property, which are arranged separately so you can change providers without necessarily moving.

It suits people who need regular or continuous support during the day and often overnight, with arrangements ranging from active awake-overnight support to on-call. Funding is based on a roster of care that the NDIS reviews for reasonableness, and it is worth exploring alternatives such as Individualised Living Options first. When comparing SIL providers, ask how they match housemates, recruit and train workers, maintain staff consistency, and support you to build independence rather than doing everything for you — a provider shapes your daily life, so reliability and culture matter.
