SIL (Supported Independent Living)

« Back to Glossary Index

SIL (Supported Independent Living) is NDIS funding that helps participants with daily personal activities in shared or individual living arrangements. SIL provides assistance with tasks such as:

  • Personal care (showering, dressing, grooming)
  • Meal preparation and household tasks
  • Developing living skills and independence
  • Overnight support when required
  • Community participation and social activities

SIL is different from SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation). While SDA covers the building/housing, SIL covers the support workers who assist with daily living. Participants can receive SIL in their own home, family home, or shared accommodation with other NDIS participants.
