Setting up for success

Custom Supported Independent Living

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is when you live with other people with support.  It’s about making sure you feel safe and comfortable in your home.

Think of it as a share house but as well as sharing the house, you are contributing to your share of the supports.

Because you are living with others, we’ll need to negotiate with your housemates how services are delivered. If someone moves out of the house we’ll need to re-negotiate with the housemates still sharing supports.

While SIL is a shared service, we’ll still support you to learn new skills, explore independence and achieve the things that are important to you.

How does SIL work?

We’ll work with you, your support coordinator and others in your support team to identify a budget for your SIL. We plan with you around what you’d like to achieve personally as well as ensure you and your housemates are happy with the supports you share.

SIL is based on an annual figure, and billed daily in equal parts.

A shared experience can be great for building confidence to live independently.

  • Learn how to live with new housemates
  • Build confidence to one day live on your own
  • Develop a routine from getting ready for the day, to planning and preparing healthy meals
  • Practice good mental and physical health
  • Participate in shared household jobs
