The basics

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS funding for the day-to-day support a person receives while living in a shared home. It pays for trained support workers to help with everyday tasks, cooking, cleaning, medication, personal care and building life skills, so a young adult can live as independently as possible.

SIL is about the support, not the building. At Empower and Shine, that support is delivered in genuine, comfortable homes in Cranbourne, not clinical facilities, with the same trained, screened workers your young adult gets to know. It’s premium daily living, funded within your existing NDIS plan.

Common question

SIL vs SDA, what’s the difference?

SIL, the support

Supported Independent Living (SIL) funds the people and support that help you live day to day, the workers, the routines, the skill-building. Most participants in shared homes are funded through SIL. This is what Empower and Shine provides.

SDA, the housing

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funds the physical home itself, for people with high or specialist housing needs. Not everyone is eligible for SDA, and you don’t need SDA to receive SIL support in one of our homes.

Who it’s for

Is SIL right for your young adult?

Our SIL homes are designed for young adults with disability who are ready to move toward independent living with the right support around them. Whether your young adult needs a little help or a lot, we build the support to fit, and we plan for the long term, not just this year’s plan.

If you’re a parent weighing up SIL for the first time, the best next step is a simple conversation. We’ll talk through your young adult’s needs, show you a home, and map how SIL fits your NDIS plan, with no pressure and no extra bill.

SIL questions, answered

NDIS SIL: frequently asked questions.

What is SIL under the NDIS?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS funding for the day-to-day support you receive while living in a shared home, help with tasks like cooking, cleaning, medication, personal care and building independence. It funds the support, not the house itself.
What’s the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL funds the support workers and daily help; SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) funds the physical home for people with specialist housing needs. You don’t need SDA to receive SIL support in one of our Cranbourne homes.
Where are your SIL homes?
We operate two supported independent living homes in Cranbourne, Victoria, with three places available now.
How many people live in one SIL house?
We keep our SIL homes small, around three residents per home, with roughly one support worker to every three residents, so support stays personal and consistent.
How is SIL funded, are there extra costs?
SIL support is delivered within your NDIS plan funding. As a registered NDIS provider we can support self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants, and we map exactly how it fits your plan before anything begins.
How do I get SIL in my NDIS plan?
SIL is included in your plan based on your support needs and goals around independent living. Contact us and we’ll help you understand what’s involved and work with you toward a place in one of our homes.
