SIL Perth

Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) are two terms that are good to be familiar with. Both of them are different types of support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), but the way they provide support differs.

SIL is focused on providing assistance to individuals with disabilities to live independently in their own homes. It includes supports such as help with daily tasks, personal care, life skills, transport, clinical care, 24/7 supervision, and community participation.

On the other hand, SDA is funding for the physical housing itself. It refers to specially designed accommodations that have features and modifications to meet the needs of people with significant disabilities. SDA focuses on creating an accessible and inclusive living environment, with features like ramps, wider doorways, and accessible bathrooms.

Both SIL and SDA work together to provide a comprehensive support system for people with disability, helping them live with greater independence and inclusion in their local communities. In some cases, someone may require both SIL support and SDA funding, e.g. they may need support for daily living through SIL and also reside in a specialised accessible housing under SDA.

Once you are a NDIS participant, SIL can be funded under the Core Supports category of your NDIS plan, if it is determined to be a reasonable and necessary support to help you live independently in the community.

When you have your planning meeting with your Local Area Coordinator or NDIS Planner, chat to them about your goals, and let them know that you would like access to SIL. You will need to get a functional assessment report from an occupational therapist that shows how your disability impacts everyday life, why other types of housing aren’t suitable for your needs, and the supports that you require to help you achieve your goals. You also need to have a housing-related goal in your NDIS, to show that SIL is a reasonable and necessary support to help you achieve your goal.

When choosing a SIL provider, consider factors like how much experience they have, what other people say about them, whether they are available when you need them, the services they provide, and how well they match what you need and want. It’s a good idea to talk to different providers and meet them in person before you make your decision, to see if they are a good fit for you.
