Everything There is to Know About Supported Independent Living (SIL)

by Paul Bennett Australia's Best Author

SIL provides day-to-day help to people with disabilities around the clock (24 hours). It can be beneficial if you need more assistance than your casual support network can supply and wish to improve your capacity to live independently.

If your NDIS plan includes SIL, you can obtain 24-hour day-to-day support from registered SIL providers in Brisbane, which includes - 

  • Assistance in domestic activities such as cooking and cleaning
  • Participating in social and community activities
  • Personal hygiene
  • Traveling to and from appointments, as well as other duties

What is the Distinction Between SIL and SDA?

Because both SIL and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) aim to help people live life independently, it's easy to get them mixed up. However, whereas SIL focuses on the services offered in the home, SDA focuses on the physical home itself, such as adaptations to your home to accommodate your particular needs.

So SIL will not pay for your rent, home modifications, activities covered by other NDIS money, or any other expenses.

What is the Procedure for SIL Funding?

If you have SIL in your NDIS plan, you will receive additional funds under the category Assistance in Daily Life. While officially a Core Support, you cannot access it through your flexible Core budget.

The quantity of SIL funding provided by the NDIS is determined by how much assistance is required. The fee will be determined by the NDIS based on quotes from NDIS registered SIL providers near Gold Coast and any supporting documents.

Do You Need Assistance in Locating a SIL Provider?

With so many SIL providers to choose from, it might be difficult to know where to begin. Support coordination can be a useful tool not only for locating the best NDIS registered SIL provider for you, but also for guiding you through the overall process.

Hope, you have gathered the much-needed information about Supported Independent Living (SIL). If you find this post helpful, share it with your friends, and get back to us for more NDIS-related posts!
