Supported Independent Living in Beveridge: Personal Support for Everyday Life

What Supported Independent Living Means

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS funded support for participants who need regular assistance with daily tasks in their home. It may be provided in a shared living arrangement or an individual home.

Support may be delivered during the day, evening, overnight or across 24 hours where assessed and approved. SIL covers support services rather than rent or ordinary household costs.

Participants remain involved in decisions about their routine, home and daily activities, with support designed to strengthen independence.

‍

Who May Benefit from SIL Support

SIL may suit participants who:

• Need regular personal care or household assistance
• Require mobility support or transfers
• Need overnight or 24 hour assistance
• Want to develop practical daily living skills
• Need support with meals, routines or medication prompts
• Prefer shared living with suitable housemates
• Want help accessing nearby services and community activities
• Have SIL funding or are exploring their options

We discuss the participant’s situation, goals, preferences and current supports.

Support needs review

We review the NDIS plan and daily support requirements.

Personalised planning

We develop a plan around routines, goals, communication needs and required assistance.

Service agreement

The agreed support is documented clearly before services begin.

Ongoing reviews

We review support regularly and adjust it when needs change.

Support for Families, Guardians and Coordinators

Families, guardians, support coordinators, plan managers and allied health professionals can be involved in planning and reviews where appropriate.

We provide clear communication and coordinate around transitions or changing needs while keeping participant choice central.
