Understanding Supported Independent Living

​In the journey towards independence, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a pivotal role in empowering NDIS participants to lead fulfilling lives. One key aspect of this support is Supported Independent Living (SIL), a service designed to provide assistance and encouragement to individuals to live independently.

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living is a specialised support service offered under the NDIS, tailored to individuals who aspire to enhance their independent living skills. This service acknowledges that everyone's journey towards independence is unique, and therefore, it provides personalised assistance based on individual needs and goals.
 
At Assist Community Services, we understand the significance of SIL in fostering autonomy for individuals. Our commitment to providing comprehensive support aligns with the core principles of SIL, creating an environment that promotes independence and empowers individuals to live life on their terms.
 
How Does SIL Work?
 
SIL encompasses a range of support services that cater to various aspects of daily living. This may include assistance with household tasks, personal care, community participation, and skill development. The goal is to enable individuals to live more independently while ensuring they have the necessary support to navigate any challenges they may encounter.
 
Our dedicated team at Assist Community Services works closely with participants to identify their unique needs and aspirations. Through collaborative planning, we develop a tailored SIL plan that addresses specific areas of support, fostering an environment where individuals can thrive.
