Supported Independent Living is funding for supervising tasks of daily life in a shared living environment, either temporary or ongoing. Many people with mental illness or disabilities are unable to live on their own or with their families. Therefore group or shared accommodation allows people to receive day-to-day support whilst living in a suitable home.
Everyone in the household needs to get along, so like-minded housemates can be matched based on compatibility and shared hobbies and interests.
Under the NDIS, SIL means that between two and seven people can share a home, each with a private bedroom.
