Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a great way to keep as much control as possible over your daily life. With the right amount of home care support and supervision through the day, everyday tasks become manageable.
Read on to learn more about this service, which an NDIS registered provider in your area can supply.
What is SIL?
Supported Independent Living helps people over 18 who need assistance with some daily tasks to live as independently as possible. It can also include developing skills to make this easier.
The help offered varies from person to person. Some examples include:
- Cooking with a focus on good nutrition
- Home cleaning and laundry
- Personal care, including daily bathroom routines
- Medical assistance
- Transport, or using transport to get to appointments
- Starting a new hobby or pastime
How do I apply for NDIS SIL?
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) funds support for people with disability to improve their quality of life, through greater independence, access to services (including SIL), access to their community, and more time with family and friends.
To apply, visit the NDIS website for information on eligibility and how to apply. Once your funding is approved, a support coordinator can help you through the next steps.
Who will supply the SIL services?
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission registers and monitors service providers. Choosing a registered provider means your support meets the high standards required of NDIS registered providers, and your services are tailored to your needs.
