- Understanding the NDIS
At High Support Care, we believe independence is not about doing everything alone—it's about having the right support so you can live life on your own terms. Our Supported Independent Living services help NDIS participants with higher support needs to live comfortably in a shared or individual home while building the skills to manage daily life with confidence.
We go beyond providing a place to live. We create a safe, welcoming environment where you can make your own choices, stay connected to your community, and work towards your personal goals.
SIL is an NDIS-funded support that helps with daily tasks for people living in shared accommodation or their own homes. It suits participants who need substantial support—often around the clock—to manage their day-to-day lives.
Unlike occasional drop-in support, SIL is ongoing and comprehensive. Our approach is to work alongside you, not just for you. We focus on building your capacity so you're actively involved in your household routine rather than simply receiving care.
Our support is tailored to you. Whether you need standard assistance or high-intensity care, our qualified team works with you to develop a Roster of Care that matches your NDIS plan and goals.
Our daily support includes:
Personal care and hygiene—dignified help with showering, dressing, and grooming
Household management—support with cooking nutritious meals, cleaning, and laundry
Skill development—hands-on support with budgeting, bill paying, and using public transport
Medication management—safe administration and oversight of your medications
Community connection—transport and support to attend social groups, appointments, and activities
24/7 presence—overnight support (active or inactive) for your safety and peace of mind
NDIS funding can be confusing. Here's a clear breakdown of how SIL funding works at High Support Care.
Support workers to assist you daily; skill development programs; capacity building activities; sleepover or active night support.
Rent and accommodation bond; groceries and household bills (utilities); personal items and toiletries; board and lodging fees.
The physical house or apartment is often funded separately under Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) if you're eligible. Our team can help you understand the difference between SIL (the support) and SDA (the building) in your plan.
You may be eligible for SIL funding if you're an NDIS participant aged 18 or over who has high support needs requiring significant assistance throughout the day, a permanent disability that affects your functional capacity, would benefit from living away from family to build independence, or needs a safe, structured environment to develop life skills.

We're more than a service provider—we're part of your community.
We understand local community resources and services in your area.
We respect your background and traditions so your home feels like your home.
For shared living, we match you with housemates who share similar ages, interests, and lifestyles.
We focus on your potential. Every task we help with is a chance for you to learn and grow.
Moving to independent living is a significant step, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're looking for a vacancy in one of our shared homes or need support in your own property, we're here to help.
SIL (Supported Independent Living) pays for the support staff who help you with daily tasks in your home. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) pays for the physical building—the house or apartment itself. You can have one, both, or neither, depending on your NDIS plan and assessed needs.
Yes. SIL support can be provided in your own home, in a shared house, or in other suitable accommodation. The key is that you need ongoing help with daily tasks. Our team can discuss your situation and help you understand what's possible under your plan.
A Roster of Care is a document that outlines the support you need each day, including the number of staff, their roles, and when they're required. It's used to determine your SIL funding and ensures your NDIS plan reflects your actual support needs.
Yes. We can review your NDIS plan, explain your options, and guide you through the Home and Living Supports Request process if you need to apply for or change your SIL funding. Contact us to speak with our team.
