Having support at home can make each day feel a little more confident to face. Supported Independent Living, or SIL, helps with daily life while you build skills, make your own choices, and work toward greater independence. In Nowra, we help you find a home life that feels safe, steady, and right for you.
We’re BB Disability & Mental Health Services, a registered NDIS provider based in Dapto, with a team bringing real experience in disability support, mental health, and social work. SIL is available to participants in Nowra, across the Shoalhaven, and throughout the Illawarra.
Maybe you’re thinking about moving out of the family home, looking at shared living, or needing more regular support with everyday tasks. That’s a lot to weigh up. We take the time to hear what matters to you, answer honestly, and help you explore the options at whatever pace feels comfortable.
What Support Could Feel Like in Nowra
SIL isn’t about someone taking over your life. It’s about having help with the parts of daily living that feel difficult, while your choices, routines, and goals stay at the centre.
A Gentle Look at Your Week
- Mornings: Getting ready, personal care, breakfast, a medication reminder where that’s part of your plan, or preparing for the day ahead.
- Through the week: Cooking, shopping, cleaning, laundry, budgeting, meal planning, and building everyday skills.
- Evenings: Dinner, keeping the home organised, time with housemates, or settling into a relaxed night.
- Weekends: Family time, hobbies, community activities, or simply doing what makes you happy.
SIL gives you regular support with everyday life, based on what’s in your NDIS plan. We’ll talk through what SIL could look like for you and explain the next steps clearly. When you’re ready, say hello or make a referral and we’ll begin together.
Trusted Support, Close to Home
Across the Shoalhaven
We provide SIL support in Nowra and across the wider Shoalhaven. Staying close to family, familiar places, and the community you know can genuinely matter when you’re considering a new living arrangement.
Alongside SIL, we also offer Specialist Disability Accommodation, In-Home Support, Community Access and Activities, Support Coordination, Psychosocial Recovery Coaching, and Short-Term and Medium-Term Accommodation. You might only need one type of support, or a few working together, and we’re happy to help you see what suits your situation.
SIL Support a Little Beyond Nowra
Not sure what’s nearest to you? We also run SIL in Wollongong, Dapto, Kiama, Moss Vale, and across the wider Illawarra, or call 1300 070 724 and we’ll help point you the right way.
What Our Families Say
Every story here belongs to someone who trusted us with a major decision, where to live, and who would support them. We’re honoured to be part of that conversation.
