Personalised Support to Help You Live Life Your Way

At Visionary Respite and Care, we deliver tailored Supported Independent Living (SIL) services that help NDIS participants live more independently while receiving the support they need.

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living is an NDIS-funded support designed for people with higher support needs who require help with daily living tasks. It can take place in your own home or in a shared living arrangement.

 

SIL typically includes:
 

  • Assistance with personal care and daily routines
     

  • Support with cooking, cleaning, and household tasks
     

  • Help building independence and practical life skills
     

  • Support with medication management and health needs
     

  • Encouragement to connect socially and take part in your community
     

Important to note: SIL does not cover rent, groceries, utilities, or day-to-day expenses. These costs remain your responsibility.

Who is SIL for?

SIL is generally suited to NDIS participants who:

​

  • Need 24/7 support or supervision, including overnight assistance
     

  • Have high or complex support needs that cannot be met with lower-intensity supports
     

  • Want to increase their independence while receiving ongoing guidance
     

  • Live alone or in a shared setting where daily support is required
     

If you are unsure whether you’re eligible, our team can review your NDIS plan and explain what evidence or assessments may be needed.
