Supported Independent Living (SIL) in Brisbane, Ipswich, Springfield & Logan
Supported Independent Living is the day-to-day support that makes living in your own place work — help with routines, meals, personal care and running a household, delivered on a roster rather than ad hoc. Some people need a few hours each day; others need someone there overnight or around the clock. We build the roster around the level of support you actually need, and we are upfront about what we can staff consistently before anything is agreed.

Common questions
Supported independent living — questions people ask
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
SIL funds the support workers who help you with everyday tasks in the home you live in — cooking, cleaning, personal care, medication prompting and getting your day started. It generally applies where support is needed for much of the day, often including overnight. Importantly, it pays for the support, not the house.
Do you provide the housing as well?
No. We provide the support; we are not a housing provider. Where you live is funded and arranged separately — through Specialist Disability Accommodation, a private rental, family housing or your own home. If you are still working out where you will live, tell us and we will point you to the right people.
Can I get SIL support if I live on my own?
Yes. SIL is often associated with shared houses, but it can be delivered in a home you live in by yourself. What matters is the level of support you need day to day, not how many people live there. Your plan sets out what is funded for your situation.
