Supported Independent Living Redlands

Helping you to live your best life

Being able to choose where you live, who you live with, and the support you need on a day-to-day basis is a big part of independent living. We are committed to helping our clients to achieve the fulfilling home life you deserve by assisting you to live your best life.

NDIS supported living provider

As an NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) provider, our skilled carers are here to partner with you to deliver a support program focused on your needs and guided by your choices.

By getting to know you and understanding your interests, likes and dislikes, and goals for the future, we can map out the best possible programs to support you at home.

The most important aspect of the support we provide is that you feel safe and nurtured. It’s our privilege to be trusted to help you on your path to greater independence.

How can we help you?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the perfect option for adults with complex disabilities wanting to strike a balance between assistance and independence in their daily lives. Our SIL services cater for those who may require complex care, and or full-time support, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. See the NDIS for information on housing and living supports and services.

If you’re aged between 18 and 65 years, living with a disability, and looking to change your housing arrangements, we’d love to talk to you about how we can help.

Integrate Disability Services are here to assist you to:

Develop individual program plans that outline goals, aspirations, and desires for independent living.
Develop and maintain friendships and community connections.
Access social and recreational activities.
Manage and attend appointments outside the home.
Complete forms and other types of communication documents.
Maintain a household, and managing accommodation and tenancy obligations.

We will also work with you to develop increased independence through skill development in areas such as financial and money management, shopping and household tasks, including cooking and domestic duties, social skills and using public transport.

How can I access Supported Independent Living?

To be eligible for SIL, it must be budgeted for within your NDIS plan. This is something your NDIS Support Coordinator will help you with.

If you are not funded for Support Coordination, our team is happy torefer you to one of our many trust industry partners or a Local Area Coordinator, who will help you to develop your NDIS plan to include SIL resources.

What is NDIS Supported Independent Living SIL?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of funding provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It is designed to help individuals with disabilities live more independently by providing support with daily tasks and activities in a shared living arrangement, or in some cases, individually.

Key Aspects of SIL:

Support with Daily Tasks: SIL funding covers assistance with everyday activities such as personal care, meal preparation, cleaning, and managing medications.
Shared Living Arrangements: SIL is often provided in shared living environments where two or more participants live together, but it can also be available for those living alone if appropriate.
Tailored Support: The level and type of support are tailored to each participant’s needs. Support can range from a few hours a day to 24/7 assistance.
Goal-Oriented: SIL is designed to help participants achieve greater independence and improve their quality of life by working towards personal goals.
Funding and Eligibility: To receive SIL funding, participants need to have it included in their NDIS plan. The NDIS assesses eligibility based on the individual’s disability-related needs and goals.

SIL is part of the broader NDIS framework, which aims to provide flexible and personalised support to Australians with disabilities, enabling them to live more fulfilling lives.

Who can provide NDIS Supported Independent Living in Australia?

In Australia, Supported Independent Living (SIL) services under the NDIS can only be provided by organisations or individuals who are registered NDIS providers. These providers must meet specific standards and requirements set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission to ensure they deliver safe, high-quality services.

Who Can Provide SIL?

Registered NDIS Providers:

Organisations or individuals must be registered with the NDIS to provide SIL services. Registration involves meeting strict criteria, including compliance with the NDIS Practice Standards and adherence to the NDIS Code of Conduct.
Registered providers can include specialised disability service organisations, community housing providers, non-profit organisations and private companies.

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) Providers:

Some providers also offer Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) alongside SIL, which refers to housing designed specifically for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

Support Workers:

The actual support within SIL settings is often delivered by trained support workers employed by the registered NDIS provider. These workers assist participants with daily living tasks, personal care, and other support needs.

Choosing a SIL Provider

Participant Choice: NDIS participants have the flexibility to choose their SIL provider. They can research and compare providers based on the services offered, the qualifications of the support workers, and feedback from other participants.
Service Agreements: When choosing a SIL provider, participants typically enter into a service agreement that outlines the services to be provided, the costs involved, and other important terms and conditions.

How to Find a Provider

NDIS Provider Finder Tool: The NDIS website has a tool that allows participants to search for registered providers in their area.
Support Coordinators: Participants may also work with NDIS Support Coordinators, who can help them find and connect with appropriate SIL providers.

These providers play a crucial role in ensuring that participants receive the support they need to live independently while achieving their personal goals.
