What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL) in the NDIS?

A closer look at the service that helps people with disabilities live on their own terms.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is one of the most transformative NDIS services available. It provides people with disabilities the opportunity to live more independently while still receiving the support they need to thrive.

At ProCare Solution, we specialise in delivering SIL services across Australia—tailored to the person, not just the plan.

What Is SIL?

SIL is a type of support that helps participants with daily living tasks in a shared or individual accommodation setting. It’s ideal for people who need 24/7 care or regular drop-in assistance but still want to enjoy independence and autonomy in their own home.

Examples of SIL support include:

• Meal planning and preparation

• Personal care (showering, dressing, hygiene)

• Medication management

• Cleaning and household chores

• Daily routines and scheduling

• Overnight or 24/7 supervision (if needed)

Who Is SIL For?

SIL is best suited for people with higher support needs, who want to live away from family or in a more independent environment.

Whether you're living with housemates or in your own space, the goal of SIL is to help you develop life skills, maintain routines, and feel supported—without losing your freedom.
