Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for SIL?
SIL is generally funded for participants who require regular support with everyday activities and benefit from living in a supported environment. Eligibility is determined by the NDIS based on your individual needs.
Does SIL funding include rent and groceries?
No. SIL funding covers support services, not everyday living expenses. You are responsible for rent, utilities, food, and personal costs.
Can I choose who I live with?
Yes. You will be involved in choosing your housemates. NDIS SIL providers in Melbourne usually aim to match participants based on compatibility, preferences, and support needs.
Can I receive SIL in my own home?
Yes. SIL can be delivered in your own home, depending on your support needs and NDIS funding.
What kind of support staff are available?
Support workers may assist with personal care, cooking, cleaning, medication reminders, community participation, and skill-building. Some homes also provide overnight or 24/7 support.
Is SIL the same as Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?
No. SIL refers to the support services you receive, while SDA relates to the physical housing designed for people with high support needs. You can have SIL with or without SDA.
Can my SIL support change over time?
Yes. Your support can be adjusted based on your changing needs, goals, or during your NDIS plan review.
How do I apply for SIL funding?
You can discuss SIL with your Support Coordinator or Local Area Coordinator. Evidence will usually be required to demonstrate your need for supported living.
What happens if SIL isn’t the right fit for me?
If your needs change, SIL providers in Melbourne can help explore other support options and assist with transitioning to a different arrangement.
