Supported Independent Living (SIL)

A safe, supported environment to live with greater independence.

Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) homes are more than just housing—they’re a foundation for growth, wellbeing, and real recovery.

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of NDIS-funded support that helps people with psychosocial disability or mental health concerns live as independently as possible while receiving support with daily tasks and routines. At TeamHEALTH, SIL is more than just housing—it’s about creating a stable home environment that supports recovery, wellbeing, and personal growth.

Who is SIL for?

SIL is designed for people who:

  • Have a NDIS plan with SIL funding
  • Live with a psychosocial disability or complex mental health needs
  • Would benefit from shared living arrangements with tailored daily support
  • Want to build life skills and independence while maintaining safety and connection

Our Approach

At TeamHEALTH, our SIL services are:

  • Recovery-focused: We support each person’s individual journey and goals.
  • Strengths-based: We recognise and build on your abilities.
  • Culturally safe: Respectful and inclusive of diverse cultural backgrounds.
  • Collaborative: We work with you, your support network, and health professionals.

You’ll be supported to develop everyday living skills such as cooking, budgeting, personal care, social participation, and managing appointments—at your pace, on your terms.

What You Can Expect

  • 24/7 on-site support (tailored to your needs)
  • A safe, comfortable, and stable home environment
  • Opportunities to build independence and confidence
  • Support to connect with community, culture, employment, or education
  • A personalised support plan aligned with your NDIS goals
