Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement
Assistance with daily tasks is focused on empowering clients, developing and assisting clients to live their daily lives as they wish. SIL is a type of support to help you live in your home, it helps you to live as independently as possible, whilst also building your skills. Supported Independent Living is for people who require some level of help at home all the time, this means you need a significant amount of help throughout the day, 7 days a week and includes overnight support. If you require SIL as a reasonable and necessary support, funding is provided by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) based on the level of support you require to live independently.
Supported Independent Living can include many different supports.
- Assistance with personal tasks
- Help to develop skills in meal preparation, cooking, cleaning, and developing a routine
- Help to develop social skills
- Support to give medications
- Support for medical appointments
- Community access that is not routine or regular, for example, to complete personal tasks
- Support to get to and from community access activities, where this is your preference. For example, support to attend physiotherapy appointments or visit with friends and family outside of the home.
