The NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding is provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. SIL assists individuals with disabilities to live independently in a shared living arrangement. There are different types or categories of SIL supports based on the level of support required. These categories are:

Basic

Basic SIL provides low-level support for individuals who require minimal assistance with daily living tasks. This level of support may include assistance with budgeting, household chores, meal preparation, and basic personal care. The focus is on fostering independence while providing some oversight and support.

Standard

Standard SIL offers moderate support for individuals who require more assistance with daily living activities. This may include support with personal care, medication management, meal planning and preparation, transportation, and household tasks. The level of support is typically tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual, allowing them to live as independently as possible. The assistance required may in some cases be 24/7.

High

High SIL provides higher support for individuals with significant disabilities and complex support needs. The focus is on providing comprehensive support to ensure the individual's safety, well-being, and quality of life. This level of support may involve 24-hour assistance, including personal care, complex medication management, behaviour support, specialised therapies, and additional support with community participation.
