Who Is SIL For?

SIL is generally designed for NDIS participants who require a high level of daily support or supervision at home. A participant may live alone or share a home with other participants, depending on their individual circumstances and support needs.

Support is tailored to each participant’s needs, preferences, goals and approved NDIS supports.

SIL Support
& Accommodation

SIL funds support workers who assist participants in their home. It does not fund the property itself or ordinary living costs such as rent, groceries, utilities, telephone or internet expenses.
