NSW Overview

What is Supported Independent Living?

The Supported Independent Living (SIL) in Nowra aims to aid individuals with disabilities in living independently within their communities. SIL falls under the category of support services provided by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, offering financial assistance to eligible persons with disabilities in accessing disability support services. SIL services are available in various accommodation settings, including group homes, shared housing, or individual homes. The primary objective of SIL is to provide residents with the necessary support to accomplish their personal objectives and live self-sufficiently.

SIL services offer varying degrees of support tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual. While some individuals may require round-the-clock assistance, others may require less intensive support. Eligibility for SIL services is subject to NDIS approval, and individuals must have SIL included in their NDIS plan. Registered NDIS providers typically offer SIL services, collaborating with individuals and their support networks to ensure that their needs and aspirations are being fulfilled.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) in Nowra can provide a range of benefits for individuals with disabilities who wish to live independently in the community. Some of the major benefits these services offers are:

Increased independence

SIL services are specifically designed to support individuals with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in their communities. They assist with daily living activities, which can include personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, and transportation. These services can enable individuals to achieve greater independence, autonomy, and control over their lives, which is essential for improving their overall quality of life. By providing these types of support, SIL services can enable individuals with disabilities to live independently and participate fully in their communities. This can lead to improved social connections, increased self-esteem, and a sense of belonging, all of which are essential for a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Access to specialist support

SIL services recognize that individuals with disabilities may require additional support services to achieve their goals and maximize their independence. As such, SIL services may provide access to specialist support services, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, or physiotherapy. Occupational therapy focuses on developing practical skills, speech therapy addresses speech and language issues, and physiotherapy targets physical health, especially for those with mobility or musculoskeletal issues. By providing access to these specialist services, SIL services can help individuals to develop practical skills, communicate more effectively, improve physical health, and participate fully in daily life.

Customized support

SIL in Nowra aim to provide individualised support that meets the unique needs and preferences of each person with a disability. This personalised approach means that support is tailored to fit the individual's requirements and is provided in a setting that works best for them. SIL services can be delivered in various accommodation settings, including group homes, shared housing, or individual homes, depending on the individual's needs and preferences. SIL services support individuals with disabilities to make informed decisions and exercise control over their lives. Individuals are encouraged to participate in decisions relating to their support and are supported to take on new challenges, develop skills, and make choices that align with their personal goals.

Improved quality of life

In addition to assisting with daily living tasks, SIL services can also support individuals with disabilities to participate in social and recreational activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Social inclusion is an essential aspect of leading a fulfilling and meaningful life, and SIL services can play a crucial role in promoting this inclusion. SIL services can support individuals with disabilities to engage in social activities such as attending community events, joining clubs or groups, and participating in sports.
