SIL and housing are different
Separate the home from the support
SIL may fund support workers
- Help or supervision with personal care and daily tasks
- Meal preparation, routines and household activities
- Skill development and greater independence
- Support delivered in the participant’s home
- Shared or individual support according to assessed needs
SIL does not pay for
- Rent, groceries, utilities or ordinary household costs
- The house or specialist dwelling itself
- Activities outside the participant’s funded supports
- Support that does not meet current NDIS requirements
- A requirement to use the same organisation for housing and support
Choice of provider matters. Where housing and support are connected, participants should still understand tenancy arrangements, service agreements, conflicts of interest and how to change providers.
What professional support can feel like
Consistent, respectful and outcome-focused
Person-led routines
Support is organised around the participant’s communication, preferences, culture, relationships and daily rhythm.
Skilled, reliable teams
Clear support plans, handovers, training and consistent practice help reduce disruption and improve safety.
Progress that is meaningful
Everyday goals are reviewed with the participant and adjusted when needs, choices or circumstances change.
