SIL is NDIS funding that pays for a support worker to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with daily tasks inside your home. The goal is to build your independence — not replace it. SIL is designed for people with high support needs who need active help or supervision for most of the day.
The phrase "supported independent living" can feel like a contradiction — how can living independently also involve regular support? The answer lies in what independence actually means in the disability context.
Independence is not about doing everything alone. It is about having control over your own choices, your own routines, and your own life. SIL funding makes that control possible by providing support for the tasks that would otherwise limit it: personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, medication management, and community participation.
SIL is specifically designed for NDIS participants who have a high level of support need.
You require active support from a support worker for more than 8 hours each day to complete daily activities such as personal care, meals, and mobility.
Even outside those active support hours, you need some level of supervision or availability — meaning you require access to support for the full 24 hours of each day.
If you answered yes to these, contact the WithCare team to discuss your eligibility.

Waking assistance, personal care (showering, grooming), breakfast preparation, and medication reminders.
Household tasks, community participation, skill-building activities like cooking or budgeting, and therapy appointment access.
Meal preparation, evening winding-down routines, and overnight peace of mind safety monitoring.
The NDIS has several home and living supports. Here is a clear breakdown:
| Support Type | What It Covers | Who It Is For |
|---|---|---|
| SIL | Support workers helping with daily tasks in your home — 24/7 if needed | People with high support needs requiring daily or round-the-clock assistance |
| SDA | The physical home itself — purpose-built or modified housing | People with very high support needs or extreme functional impairment |
| ILO | Flexible, creative support arrangements tailored to your situation | People who want more choice and flexibility with lower-intensity needs |
From 1 July 2026, all providers delivering SIL must be fully registered NDIS providers. This change protects participants by ensuring all SIL providers meet NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission standards.
WithCare Support Services is a fully registered NDIS provider, so your supports and funding will remain 100% stable and secure throughout 2026 and beyond.
Getting SIL approved requires a structured approach. Here is the typical path:
Speak with your NDIS planner or contact about your home and living needs clearly.
Collect clinical reporting from OTs, support coordinators, or specialists mapping functional limits.
Work with a registered provider like WithCare to build and submit your custom Roster of Care.
