What Supported Independent Living (SIL) Covers
The Supported Independent Living (SIL) registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.
24/7 Supported Living
Round-the-clock support in shared houses, typically 3-5 participants. Staff provide personal care, household management, community access, and overnight support. The most intensive and expensive form of NDIS-funded accommodation support.
Drop-In Support
Scheduled support visits to a participant living independently or semi-independently. Less intensive than 24/7 but provides regular check-ins, assistance with tasks, and safety monitoring.
Host Family Arrangements
Participant lives with a vetted host family who provides a home-like environment and day-to-day support. Less institutional than group homes, suitable for participants who benefit from a family setting.
Common Referral Scenarios
Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for supported independent living (sil) in Bendigo.
A participant's aging parents can no longer provide full-time care at home. The participant needs 24/7 SIL with a compatible group of housemates. Start the process 6-12 months before the transition is needed, as SIL placements have long waitlists.
A participant in a current SIL arrangement is unhappy with their housemates or provider. You need to find an alternative SIL vacancy that better matches their needs, cultural background, and personality.
A participant is moving from a group home to a more independent living arrangement with drop-in support. The SIL provider needs to develop a transition plan that gradually reduces support while building the participant's independence.
What to Expect After Referral
SIL referrals are among the most complex coordination tasks. The process involves a roster of care assessment, SIL quote development, NDIA approval of the SIL funding, and matching the participant with a compatible house and housemates. Expect the full process to take 3-6 months minimum. Good SIL providers conduct thorough compatibility assessments and offer trial periods before permanent placement.
Red Flags to Watch For
Warning signs that a supported independent living (sil) provider may not be delivering quality services.
Provider placing participants based on vacancy rather than compatibility
No individual support plans for each participant in the house
High staff turnover leading to inconsistent support
Participant not involved in decisions about their living arrangement
Provider restricting participant choice or access to the community
No transparent breakdown of how SIL funding is spent
Roster of care not reflecting actual support delivered
How Supported Independent Living (SIL) Works with Other Supports
SIL works closely with SDA (the housing component), Therapeutic Supports (therapy delivered in the home), Community Participation (getting out of the house), and Behaviour Support (managing challenging behaviours in shared living). When referring for SIL, also check whether the participant has SDA funding and whether the SIL provider operates in SDA properties.

Referral Tips for Supported Independent Living (SIL)
SIL referrals require extensive planning. Check vacancy availability first, as most SIL houses have waitlists. Confirm the provider's rostering model, staffing ratios, and how they handle overnight support. Request the provider's most recent quality audit results. Coordinate with the participant's family, LAC, and NDIA planner early, as SIL funding requires a separate approval process and roster of care assessment.
