Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of service offered under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It provides support to people with disabilities, helping them live as independently as possible while residing in a shared or individual living arrangement. SIL is designed for individuals who need 24/7 support or regular assistance to manage everyday tasks, but who wish to live more independently. It can be provided in shared homes with other participants or in a participant’s own home. While the level of support varies depending on individual needs, the quality and reliability of SIL services depend on the SIL service provider. In big cities like Perth, the options are numerous, but it’s crucial to select a registered SIL provider to ensure quality care, safety, and alignment with NDIS standards.
Selecting a registered SIL provider for the NDIS journey is a critical step in ensuring that NDIS participants receive the highest standard of care. From compliance with national standards to delivering participant-centred support, registered providers offer peace of mind and a commitment to empowering individuals to live as independently as possible. They often have a team of skilled and qualified staff to deliver their services. Registered SIL providers are required to employ staff who meet NDIS worker screening requirements, including background checks and training certifications. These providers often invest in ongoing staff training to ensure they are up to date with the latest care techniques and NDIS policies. Registered SIL providers are also more likely to be involved in local networks and community initiatives, promoting social inclusion and support. They can connect participants to a wide range of local services, such as community participation, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.
