Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I apply for SDA?

Our SIL accommodation arrangements are suitable for individuals who require high support needs but desire to live independently or alongside other community members. 

This could include: 

  • Those who require ongoing support with daily living activities. 
  • Those who desire to live independently outside of their current family but would still like to benefit from community support. 
  • Those who may not qualify for NDIS-funded SDA support but still require some level of support in day-to-day living. 

From initial enquiry to final move-in, our disability accommodation services are strongly centred around the needs of those we cater to. Our team prioritises each individual’s needs and goals to design a living arrangement that guides them towards achieving both empowerment and inclusion.

Your home, your way. 

Choosing Supported Independent Living (SIL) means choosing freedom, flexibility, and the chance to thrive in a space that feels like home. 

Our SIL homes in NSW are built around personalised support. Whether you need 24/7 care or just a helping hand with daily tasks, we tailor our services to meet your individual lifestyle needs– everything from meal preparation to medication management to social connection and community access. 

We work with you and your support network to understand your goals and what a “good life” looks like for you. Whether that means living solo, sharing with others, or being closer to work, family, or friends, we’ll guide you towards the right fit. 

With us, independence isn’t the end goal, it’s where everything begins. 

Private Bedrooms

Create your own private sanctuary, filled with the things that reflect who you are. For moments of quiet and personal space, you can enjoy the comfort and privacy of your very own bedroom. 

Furnished Living Areas

Invite friends over, connect with your housemates, and spend time with your team in a shared living space. This area is thoughtfully designed with all the perfect finishing touches to watch movies, play board games, enjoy a cup of coffee, or simply catch up with daily chats and check-ins.

Accessible Outdoor Spaces

On cool, sunny days or warm spring evenings, step outside and enjoy the fresh air. Connect with nature, unwind, and soak in the sunrise or sunset, whether on your own or in the company of your friends, family, and a support team that’s specially tailored to you. 

Compatibility Assessments

In community living, sharing your home with like-minded residents can make the transition smoother. As part of our onboarding process, you’ll complete a simple compatibility check to help us match you with housemates you’ll enjoy living with. 

Tailored Support & Skill Development

In line with the SIL program mandata, our team is here to guide you through everyday life with skills such as cooking, budgeting, grocery shopping, and personal care. We’re committed to helping you confidently manage daily activities independently. 

Social & Recreational Activities

And of course, no SIL arrangement is complete without plenty of community events and opportunities to connect. Our team regularly organises social activities, from game nights and movie nights to day trips and more, encouraging everyone to take part in the moments that make life a little more enjoyable. 

According to Housing Victoria, NDIS-funded disability accommodation is divided into two key components:

First, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) provides purpose-built housing for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. These homes are designed with specialised features to support safety, accessibility, and comfort.

Second, Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to support services that help individuals live more independently, often in shared living arrangements. NDIS SIL funding covers the cost of support staff who assist with daily and personal care tasks that are geared towards helping community members achieve independent living goals.
