Supported Independent Living in Melbourne
Do not let your disability hinder you. Set yourself free and live independently with Supported Independent Living Melbourne. We make that happen by providing you with the everyday assistance you need to overcome your limitations.
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
Supported Independent Living in Melbourne is a service backed by the NDIS that helps individuals with limitations and disabilities access support to perform their everyday tasks, to enable them to live independently. The NDIS scheme funds individuals to find the right staff or service provider to help them with services such as:
- personal care
- domestic help
- capacity development
- accommodation support
- mobility support.
In specialized Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes, individuals with disabilities live together in a co-sharing arrangement. Alternatively, they have the option to live independently in these SIL homes. The service providers diligently ensure that specialized care is provided to all residents in these SIL homes.
Who Can Benefit From Supported Independent Living (SIL) Service?
The SIL providers in Melbourne usually target people with disabilities who are covered by the NDIS program. However, the definition of “disability” is quite broad. Here’s a breakdown of the categories of individuals who can benefit from SIL services:
- Individuals with mobility issues
- Individuals suffering from physical disabilities due to illness or injury
- Individuals with sensory impairments who require visual or hearing aids
- Individuals with diseases that weaken their personal capabilities

FAQ
Got a Question?
Supported Independent Living Melbourne is a type of disability support service that enables people with significant disabilities to live as independently as possible within their own homes or in the community. It provides funding for support workers to assist with daily living activities such as personal care, domestic duties, meal preparation, and social and community participation.
SIL is a specific type of ILO.
- ILO is a broader term that encompasses a range of support options for people with disabilities, including:
- Supported Accommodation
- Respite Care
- Community Participation Supports
2. SIL specifically focuses on providing support within a person’s own home or in the community, with a strong emphasis on independent living.
In the NDIS, SIL funding is typically included within a person’s Core Supports budget. This allows individuals to:
- Choose their own support workers: Individuals have greater control over who provides their support.
- Manage their own budgets: This empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their support needs and how their funding is used.
- Have greater control over their care: Individuals are more involved in decision-making regarding their support plans and how their care is delivered.
SIL focuses on providing support services within a person’s existing home or in community housing. SDA provides funding for specialised housing that is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of people with high and complex support needs.
SDA may include features such as:
- Hoists and other assistive technology
- Wheelchair accessibility
Sensory-friendly environments
Note: SIL and SDA can be combined, meaning a person may receive funding for both specialised housing and support workers to live with them or provide in-home support.
The cost of SIL varies significantly depending on several factors, including:
- The level of support required: The more intensive the support needs, the higher the cost.
- The type of support: 24/7 support will naturally be more expensive than part-time support.
- Individual circumstances: Factors such as income, assets, and other government support may influence personal contributions.
However, you would approximately pay around $327,900 for SIL in Melbourne.
