What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Is It Right for You?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded support for participants who need help with daily tasks in their home, whether they live alone, with family, or with housemates.

What SIL actually covers

SIL support can include help with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, household tasks, and building the skills to do more independently over time.

Who is SIL for?

SIL suits participants who need regular — sometimes daily — support, but still want to live independently rather than in a residential care setting.

How to know if it's right for you

The best starting point is a conversation with your support coordinator or provider about your goals, your current living situation, and how much day-to-day support would genuinely help.

Agate Support Services designs every SIL arrangement around the participant — with regular goal reviews alongside participants and their families.
