Supported Independent Living in Adelaide
SIL is not about fitting into someone else's roster. We build support around routines, goals, risks and the kind of independence each person wants. For some people that means 24/7 backup. For others it means regular support that keeps life moving.
Your home. Your life. We are the backup.

Common questions
Straight answers before you make a call, send a referral or change providers.
Does SIL mean I have to move house?
Not always. SIL can support people in a shared arrangement or in their own home depending on funding, support needs and safety.
Is SIL the same as SDA?
No. SIL funds support workers and daily assistance. SDA is specialist housing. Some people use both, but they are different parts of the NDIS.
Can SIL include community access?
Yes. A good SIL plan should support home routines and connection outside the home where that matches the participant's goals.
