Frequently Asked Questions

What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a shared home arrangement, typically accommodating 2 to 7 NDIS participants, where residents receive round-the-clock support to manage their daily lives. Funding is tailored to each person and covers both their individual needs and the shared supports required to run the household. If you’re looking for a SIL provider in Sydney, we’ll help match you with the right housemates, coordinate 24/7 assistance, and ensure your NDIS plan aligns with your day-to-day support at home.

The NDIA determines eligibility for Supported Independent Living (SIL) against the reasonable and necessary criteria. Generally, participants must demonstrate that 24/7 support is needed and that SIL will be effective and beneficial. Brightside Healthcare NDIS SIL providers can assist you in gathering the necessary evidence to support your application. You’ll typically need:

  • Evidence of 24/7 support needs: A Functional Assessment Report (FAR) completed by an Allied Health professional confirming you can’t safely live without round-the-clock assistance.
  • Identifying Housing Solutions report: Prepared by your Support Coordinator to outline suitable living options and support models.
  • Consideration of informal supports: The NDIA will factor in help from family, carers, community, and networks.
  • Benefit to you: SIL must be shown to improve your daily living, safety, and participation.

Brightside Healthcare can guide you through the process, coordinate reports, and liaise with your planner to help determine your eligibility for SIL funding.

At Brightside Healthcare, support is delivered in your home—one-to-one or with your housemates—with a focus on helping you build independence. If you’re looking for SIL accommodation in Sydney, we tailor daily living assistance to your goals, which may include:

We’ll work alongside you to make your home life safer, more confident, and more connected.

Once those pieces are in place, we’ll help you prepare and submit the SIL funding request to the NDIA for approval, so you know exactly when your supports can begin.

Great news! Since your eligibility has been confirmed, we can begin finding suitable SIL accommodation that fits your needs—plus compatible housemates.

Our specialist team will guide you through housing options, introductions, and the paperwork so you can move in with confidence.
