Supported Independent Living (SIL)
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
LevelUp Independent Living is a Supported Independent Living (SIL) provider on the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Moreton and Gympie regions. SIL refers to the funding provided by the NDIA to pay for supports in and outside of the home for everyday activities. These supports may include assistance with household tasks, personal care, accessing appointments, grocery shopping, going to a restaurant, medical appointments, and being transported to social and community-based activities.
SIL funding also includes support, supervision and/or prompting provided by support workers to enable NDIS participants to develop their daily living skills to be as independent as possible in everyday life.
SIL can be offered in multiple settings such as group homes, rental homes, public housing, participants’ own homes, or in a Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) with staffed 24/7 support in-house.
How Does SIL Work?
To access SIL services, you must have a current NDIS plan that includes Supported Independent Living funding. The amount of NDIS funding will depend on the degree of reasonable and necessary supports the participant needs. The SIL funding will be based on the quote from the SIL provider and any supporting documentation assessment report from an allied health professional.
Eligibility for Supported Independent Living benefits requires proof that you are unable to live without reasonable and necessary 24/7 supports. It is crucial that the supportive environment is beneficial, effective, and customised to the individual’s needs.
