Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a highly-supportive service designed to help participants live their lives as independently as possible. It focuses on daily personal support, such as help with cooking, cleaning, personal care, and developing vital life skills. SIL is not the housing itself, but rather the funded support provided within a home setting; whether that’s a home shared with other participants or your own residence.
Supported Independent Living is intended for people who require significant, ongoing assistance throughout the day. At Assist Ability Australia, we deliver SIL supports that are tailored to your goals, abilities, and preferred living arrangements.

SIL is created for people who need regular hands-on support to successfully navigate daily life. It’s ideal for participants with higher support needs, such as those with intellectual, physical, or psychosocial disabilities, people who desire to live more independently, either on their own or with others.
SIL funding covers help with personal care, household chores, and developing routines, creating the positive structure you need to thrive. Because SIL must be considered ‘reasonable and necessary’, it’s typically included in plans after careful assessment. Our team works closely with you to ensure SIL is aligned with your unique goals and lifestyle.

SIL, or Supported Independent Living, refers to the support services we provide to help participants like yourself live more autonomously. It does not cover the cost of rent, your mortgage, or other housing expenses. Instead, SIL funding is used to deliver daily needs and assistance in a variety of living situations.
Whether you reside in your own home, or dwell in shared housing with other participants, SIL supports can be personalised to suit your individual essentials. At Assist Ability Australia, we help you coordinate these supports in a setting that suits you best, ensuring comfort, choice, and the right assistance wherever you call home.
