Supported Independent Living

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is paid personal support to live independently for people with disability who have higher support needs.

SIL supports daily living tasks and building skills for long term independence.

Supported Independent Living

Living independently with disability starts with the right support.

At BaptistCare, we begin by taking the time to understand what matters to you, what you would like to do more independently and where you feel ready to grow.

Whether you live alone or share with others, our Support Workers will work alongside of you to build your daily living skills in ways that will strengthen your confidence and support gradual, sustainable progress towards your NDIS plan goals.

Because independence is not about doing everything alone, it’s about having the right support in place while you develop capability and greater choice in your daily life.

Frequently asked questions

Supported Independent Living is one type of help or supervision with daily tasks to help you live independently and build your daily living skills.

Supported Independent Living is best suited for people with higher level support needs who need some level of help at home all the time.

Supported Independent Living offers people greater independence, control over their lives, and the opportunity to live in their own homes, while being supported by Support Workers who know and understand their needs. This helps people to build skills and confidence, and to develop social networks and support systems while improving their mental and physical health, and overall wellbeing.

You can receive Supported Independent Living services in a house you live in. If you don’t have a house, we can help you find one.

SIL does not pay for rent, home modifications or day-to-day living expenses, like food.
