Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Are you looking to live as independently as possible? With NDIS-funded Supported Independent Living (SIL), you can receive tailored support to assist you with daily tasks in your home. Whether you’re living alone or in shared accommodation with other NDIS participants, our SIL services are designed to empower you.
What is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides round-the-clock assistance, helping NDIS participants build their skills and live more independently. At Iris, our experienced team will collaborate with you to create a personalised SIL support plan that meets your unique needs. This may include one-to-one or two-to-one support, as well as overnight assistance.
Specialist support, high-quality care
Iris provides supported living for people with a range of needs, helping them to achieve healthy, happy and fulfilled lives. Our aim is to support people to live the lives they want to live. We do this by providing the right support at the right time with a focus on independence, choice, opportunity and supporting people to live a good quality of life.
Our Comprehensive SIL Services Include:
- 24-hour support, including active or inactive overnight care.
- Personal care to help with hygiene and daily routines.
- Medication management to ensure proper health maintenance.
- Implementation of behaviour support plans tailored to your needs.

Capacity Building Supports
Our SIL services also focus on capacity building, helping you enhance your living skills and independence over time. We recognize that each individual has different requirements, and our team is dedicated to providing the right support for you.
Who Can Access SIL Support?
SIL is best suited for participants with increased support needs, requiring significant assistance throughout the day. The level of SIL funding you receive is determined by your individual circumstances, including:
- Your age and personal goals.
- Your independence and living skills.
- Any necessary home modifications or assistive technologies.
- Safety assessments and reports from health professionals.
Understanding the Difference: SIL vs. SDA
While Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) offers housing specifically designed for individuals with complex care needs, Supported Independent Living (SIL) focuses on onsite support for daily tasks and skill development. Some participants may be eligible for funding for both SIL and SDA, allowing for greater flexibility in choosing service providers.
