Supported Independent Living in Moreton Bay and Brisbane

A home should feel like home

SIL is about more than staffing a property. It is about making sure each person feels safe and respected in their own home, and in charge of their daily life. The best SIL homes we know feel relaxed. People come and go, cook what they like, have friends over and get support when they need it, without the place feeling like a facility.

We build SIL support around each person's approved funding, living arrangement, goals and preferred routines. That might be a shared home with housemates or support in a home of your own.

What is SIL?

Supported Independent Living is a type of NDIS support that pays for help with daily tasks in the home, often with other people who also receive SIL. It can include rostered support during the day, overnight support (active or sleepover) and help to build independent living skills.

SIL pays for the support, not the house. Rent, board, food and household bills are paid separately by the participant, usually from their own income. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), where it applies, is funded separately again.

Compatibility and choice come first

Sharing a home works when the people in it get along. Before confirming any SIL arrangement we look carefully at compatibility: routines, communication styles, interests, noise, support needs, risks and personal preferences. We also think about the workers, because the skills and personalities on a roster matter as much as the number of hours.

Participants are supported to make informed decisions about where they live, who they live with and who supports them. You can bring an advocate, family member or support coordinator into every conversation.

Safety and quality at home

Each person has a documented support plan covering daily routines, communication, health needs, risks and agreed strategies. Workers are trained in those plans before they start. Where a participant has a Behaviour Support Plan, we implement it as written and work with their behaviour support practitioner. Medication support follows documented plans and our medication management procedures.
