Supported Independent Living, or SIL, is an exciting and long-term living arrangement, helping individuals become more independent, make new friends, and have control in their lives.
The NDIS program for SIL aids persons with a disability by providing support services such as housing, personal care, therapies, and transportation. The goal of SIL is for people to live as independently as possible, helping to build skills.
SIL support services is offered to any persons who qualify through the NDIS, whether they be sharing a home with other NDIS Mackay participants or living in their own home. SIL support is always tailored to each participant, and their individual goals.
