About the service

About Supported Independent Living (SIL) under the NDIS

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.

Does SIL funding pay for my rent?

Who is SIL for?

SIL is generally for participants who need regular or continuous support throughout the day, and often overnight, to live safely and build daily-living skills. The NDIS assesses your support needs and a proposed roster of care to decide the level of funding, and considers whether more independent options might meet your goals.

Can I change my SIL provider without moving house?

Usually yes, because support and housing are funded separately. This separation is designed to protect your choice and control, so you can change the provider delivering your support while staying in the same home, though the practicalities depend on your living arrangement.
