NDIS Supported Independent Living Services

As a registered provider, ONCALL offers NDIS Supported Independent Living along with other accommodation and support options, and you can explore current SIL vacancies when you are ready.

NDIS: Eligibility and Funding

NDIS funding is designed to support Australians under the age of 65 who have an intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive, or psychosocial disability. It also includes early intervention pathways for children and young people who may benefit from timely support. Understanding these eligibility requirements helps you determine the right starting point for your application.

If you are exploring supported independent living NDIS, an Access Request is required. This involves sharing information about your disability, daily needs, and the type of supports that help you live safely and independently. After approval, you will meet with an NDIS planner to discuss your goals and develop a plan that includes the supports you wish to pursue.

The process can feel complex at times, but you don’t have to work through it alone. Our team can help explain NDIS SIL eligibility, outline the steps involved, and guide you toward the supports that align with your needs.

Choosing an NDIS Service Provider

NDIS Price Guide

What Is NDIS Supported Independent Living?

NDIS supported independent living refers to daily assistance that helps you maintain routines, build independence, and feel supported at home. This may include personal care, household tasks, community access, and skill development. SIL can be accessed in a shared home or individual residence, depending on your preferences and goals.

SIL is the support model, while the home itself may be standard accommodation or Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Our vacancy pages for Victoria and Queensland provide examples of both to help you explore your options.

Understanding the Difference Between SIL and SDA

SIL focuses on the supports delivered each day, while SDA refers to the specialist design of homes for people with higher physical or accessibility needs. Some participants receive SIL only, while others receive both, depending on their NDIS plan.

If you’re unsure how SIL vs SDA applies to your situation, our team can help you understand each option clearly. You can also explore our Supported Disability Housing page for simple guidance on both pathways.

How Your SIL Supports Are Delivered

SIL supports are shaped around your daily needs, routines, and goals. Assistance may include morning and evening routines, personal care, household tasks, and community participation. Support workers can also help with appointments, medication support, and capacity-building activities.

Our teams include experienced workers, clinical staff, and Allied Health professionals who help ensure care is consistent and safe. If you would like to see examples of SIL in practice, our Victoria and Queensland listings show the types of homes where these supports are delivered.

Planning Your NDIS SIL Pathway

Planning for SIL involves thinking about the type of environment that supports your wellbeing, as well as the daily assistance that will help you reach your goals. Your NDIS planner or support coordinator can guide these conversations and document the supports you need.

We can help you prepare by explaining funding categories, reviewing what SIL involves, and outlining the types of accommodation available. This support helps make each step feel clearer and more manageable.
