SUPPORTED INDEPENDENT LIVING NDIS

Build a Safe and Compatible Shared Living Arrangement

Holistic Care NSW provides SIL support in Sydney for people who need regular help at home. Support may include daily routines, shared living, sleepovers, active nights or 24/7 care, based on the person’s needs and NDIS funding. SIL is the support provided in the home, while SDA refers to the home itself.

We support NDIS participants across Parramatta, Western Sydney and the wider Sydney metropolitan area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about service scope, planning, provider roles and support arrangements.

What is Supported Independent Living NDIS?

SIL is assistance with daily life delivered in the participant’s home. It may include personal care, meals, household tasks, medication routines, community access and overnight support.

Do you have SIL vacancies in Sydney?

Vacancy availability changes. A vacancy must also be assessed for support suitability, location, household compatibility and funding before it can be offered.

Can SIL provide 24/7 support?

A SIL arrangement may include 24/7 staffing, sleepovers or active nights when this is supported by assessed needs, funding and the agreed service model.

How do you assess compatibility?

We consider routines, communication, age and interests where relevant, support intensity, behaviour support needs, shared-space expectations and participant preferences.

Can you implement a Behaviour Support Plan in SIL?

Yes, workers may implement an existing BSP when staff are appropriately prepared and the plan, provider responsibilities, authorisations and escalation pathways are clear.

What is the difference between SIL and SDA?

SIL is the support delivered in the home. SDA is specialised housing funded separately for eligible participants. The SIL provider and SDA dwelling provider may be different organisations.
