Frequently Asked Questions
FAQS
1. What is Supported Independent Living (SIL) in Brisbane?
You get daily support to live more independently in your own home or a shared house.
- Helps with personal care, cooking, cleaning, and household tasks so everyday life feels manageable.
- Supports you to build skills and get involved in the community, making independence more achievable.

SIL gives you the help you need while allowing you to live safely, confidently, and independently.
2. How do I know if I am eligible for SIL support?
You may be eligible if you need regular help with daily tasks and want to live independently. You should be an NDIS participant aged 18 or over and have support needs that require supervision at home. Your NDIS plan should include goals for independent living, and you may need to provide reports or assessments to show your care needs. Checking your eligibility helps you get the right support to meet your goals and daily needs.
3. What does a SIL provider in Brisbane do for me?
A SIL provider works with you to make daily life easier and more manageable. They help with personal care, meals, household tasks, and routines while supporting your involvement in social and community activities. They also help you develop skills to live more independently, like cooking, budgeting, or planning your day. Your provider’s role is to keep you safe, supported, and comfortable, while helping you grow in confidence and independence.
4. How do I start receiving SIL support in Brisbane?
Getting started with SIL is straightforward once you know your needs.
- Speak with your NDIS planner or Support Coordinator who can guide you through the process.
- Provide the necessary assessments or documents that show your support requirements.
- Review service agreements and schedules so you understand what support you’ll get and when.
- Choose a Brisbane SIL provider that fits your goals, lifestyle, and preferences.
Following these steps ensures you start SIL support smoothly and get the help that works best for you.
5. Can I change my SIL provider?
Yes, you can change providers if your current support doesn’t meet your needs. You just need to let your Support Coordinator know and work through a new service agreement with a different provider. Planning a smooth transition ensures there are no gaps in your care. Changing providers lets you get support that better fits your lifestyle, goals, and preferences.
6. How does SIL improve my independence and quality of life?
SIL helps you gain confidence in managing your daily life. With support for personal care, meals, household tasks, and community participation, you gradually build the skills to rely less on full-time support. Staff can guide you in learning new skills like budgeting, cooking, or planning your day. SIL empowers you to take control of your life and enjoy more independence and a better sense of wellbeing.
7. What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL is about the support you receive to live independently, while SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) refers to the type of housing you live in. SIL funding covers staff and care services, whereas SDA funding is for accessible or specially modified homes. You can receive SIL in an SDA property or in your own home if it meets accessibility requirements. Knowing the difference helps you get both the right home and the right support for your needs.
8. What support and activities are included in SIL?
SIL covers a range of support, including personal care, household management, meal prep, and help with daily routines. Providers also encourage participation in social, recreational, and community activities and help you build skills like budgeting, cooking, and planning your day. The focus is on supporting your goals while helping you live more independently. SIL gives you practical support that fits your life and helps you feel confident and capable.
