Frequently Asked Questions

What is SIL accommodation under NDIS?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded accommodation support where participants live in shared or individual homes with assistance from support workers. SIL funding covers the cost of support staff who help with daily tasks like personal care, meal preparation, household duties, and community access. The accommodation itself is typically funded separately through Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) or private rental.
How do I get SIL accommodation in Melbourne?
To access SIL accommodation, you need an active NDIS plan with SIL funding approved. This usually requires an assessment demonstrating that you need regular support to live independently. Contact Reliance Care and Support to discuss your needs — we can help coordinate SIL applications and connect you with available housing options across Melbourne's west including Melton, Deer Park, Truganina, and Tarneit.
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL (Supported Independent Living) funds the support workers who help you in your home. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) funds the physical dwelling itself — purpose-built or modified housing for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. You can have SIL funding without SDA, but SDA always comes with SIL support.
Who is eligible for SIL funding?
SIL funding is available to NDIS participants who need regular support to live independently. Eligibility is based on a functional assessment showing you require assistance with daily activities. Both Agency-managed and plan-managed participants can access SIL through registered providers like Reliance Care and Support.
Do you provide SIL accommodation in Melton?
Yes. Reliance Care and Support provides SIL accommodation services across Melbourne's west including Melton, Melton South, Deer Park, Truganina, Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing, and surrounding suburbs. Our SIL homes offer 24/7 support tailored to each resident's NDIS plan goals.
What support is included in SIL housing?
SIL support includes personal care assistance (showering, dressing), meal preparation, household tasks (cleaning, laundry), medication management, community access and social participation, transport to appointments, and skills development for greater independence. Support levels are tailored to your individual needs and NDIS plan.
