In plain terms, NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are for individuals with more intensive support needs, who require some level of assistance around the home all the time.
These services are funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).With SIL, individuals get the chance to grow their skills and independence, while living in a setting that offers support, and assistance when required.
At Lifestage, our disability support services are customised to meet the individual's needs and can include help with activities, such as supervision or assistance with everyday tasks.
Everyone deserves a life that's full of happiness and fulfilment. But sometimes, some of us might need a little extra help, particularly those living with disabilities. Lifestage provides NDIS-supported independent living services designed to help individuals with disabilities live a joyful, healthy, and well-connected life in a setting that suits their needs best.
As an NDIS service provider, Lifestage offers SIL support to people living with a range of disabilities. Our services are tailored to accommodate all levels of needs and are dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities expand their support network, engage in their community, and develop their skills, all with the aim to live as freely and independently as possible!
For those needing more support and supervision, we also offer assistance with daily living.
At Lifestage, we're all about empowering NDIS participants to gain independence within their own lives.
We're here to lend a hand to people with complex disabilities and provide resources and other personalised support that's tailored to their needs. We really get to know our clients - their dreams, goals, and aspirations - so we can offer the best support possible. Each service is tailored around your NDIS plan, available funding and your own goals.
Picture this: Waking up each morning feeling self-assured and in control. With Lifestage, that's totally possible! We can offer 24-hour shared or one-on-one support, with active nights or sleepovers.
Supported Independent Living, or SIL for short, is a 24/7 support system that enables people with a disability to live as independently as possible, but still, have access to help and/or supervision for their daily living tasks and personal care. You get the opportunity to develop your skills and independence, while at the same time, living in an environment that provides support and assistance when needed.The NDIS defines Supported Independent Living (SIL) as help with and/or supervision of daily tasks to develop the skills of an individual to live as independently as possible. These are the supports provided to a participant in their home, regardless of property ownership, and can be in a shared or individual arrangement.
SIL is best suited for participants who have high support needs. This means you require a significant amount of help throughout the day. If SIL is the most appropriate support for you, you will receive funding for this assistance as part of your NDIS plan
The amount of SIL funding you receive will depend on the level and type of support you need to live as independently as you can.
During your planning meeting, you should talk about what supports you need at home and discuss whether SIL is suitable for you. Your planner will then assess if it is a support that is reasonable and necessary for your needs. Reach out to us to find out more.
