Supported Independent Living. (SIL)

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded service designed to support individuals with a disability to live more independently, either in their own home or in a shared living arrangement, while receiving the day-to-day assistance they need.

At SDS Care, we empower participants to live fulfilling, self-directed lives by providing tailored support that balances independence with the right level of care.

What Is Supported Independent Living?

SIL provides ongoing help with daily living tasks, personal care, and household management to enable individuals to maintain their independence in a safe, supportive environment. The level and type of support is based on your individual needs and goals and is outlined within your NDIS plan.
