What is SIL and how does it support independence

Practical support to help you take charge

A stepping stone to everyday independence

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a support model for NDIS participants who need regular help with daily tasks (usually 24-hour support).

It offers a safe, stable environment where individuals are supported to live with greater autonomy while developing skills and confidence.

Supported Independent Living should make people feel safe first and foremost, after that, the priorities are:

Helping build routines for independent living
Personal care (showering, dressing, taking medication)
Meal preparation and healthy eating
Cleaning and household chores
Shopping, budgeting, and managing money
Attending appointments and using public transport

What makes Devoted Supports different?

Rooted in Christian values, we approach SIL as we do with everything, through the lens of love. We don’t just tick a box, we do what is right.

Our dedicated team works alongside participants, families, and support coordinators to ensure every SIL arrangement reflects the individual’s strengths, routines, and personal goals.

We don’t just step in. We stand beside you. At Devoted Supports, we work with you on daily tasks, helping you build confidence through practice, not pressure.

A home that supports your journey

Everyone deserves to live with dignity and independence, supported in a way that honours their unique needs and dreams. SIL provides tailored support whether you’re living in a shared home or independently. The focus is always on skill-building, stability, and helping participants flourish.
