What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living represents a comprehensive NDIS support service designed to help individuals with disabilities live as independently as possible. The primary focus? Helping you receive necessary care and assistance while achieving maximum independence.

 

Our SIL services deliver 24/7 support to help participants develop essential life skills. They maintain health and safety. Most importantly, they achieve personal goals within a supportive community environment.

 

Every person’s journey to independence differs significantly. We’ve learned this through years of hands-on experience. At QP Care, our experienced support teams work closely with participants, their families, and support networks. Together, we create personalised support plans that respect individual choices, preferences, and aspirations while fostering genuine independence and meaningful personal growth.

NDIS Funding for SIL Services

SIL is funded through your NDIS Core Supports budget under ‘Assistance with Daily Life’. The amount of SIL funding depends on your assessed support needs, ranging from low to high support requirements.

 

Our team can help you understand your funding and make the most of your NDIS plan to achieve your independence goals.

24/7 Personalised Support

This isn’t just a promise. It’s our daily practice. Many providers claim 24/7 availability. Few deliver genuine round-the-clock support. We do.

 

Our dedicated support staff provide round-the-clock assistance tailored to your individual needs. From personal care and medication management to emergency support and overnight supervision, we’re here whenever you need us.

Daily Living Skills Development

Skills training isn’t generic. We focus on what matters to you personally. Some participants prioritise cooking skills. Others need budgeting support. Everyone’s goals differ.

 

We focus on building your independence through comprehensive skills training including household management, budgeting, cooking, cleaning, personal care, and community participation activities.

Shared Living Arrangements

Matching requires careful consideration. Lifestyle compatibility matters. Shared interests help. Support needs must align. We’ve refined this process over many years of practical experience.

 

Experience the benefits of community living in our carefully matched shared accommodation. We create supportive environments where residents can build friendships, share experiences, and support each other’s goals.

Individualised Support Plans

Your plan belongs to you. We facilitate its creation and implementation. You maintain control throughout the entire process.

 

Every participant receives a customised support plan developed in collaboration with them, their family, and support network. We regularly review and adjust these plans to ensure they continue to meet evolving needs and goals.

SIL Services Across Melbourne's Growth Corridors

Cultural diversity enriches these communities significantly. Our support respects this diversity completely. Many participants come from multicultural backgrounds. We embrace and celebrate these important differences.


QP Care proudly serves participants across Melbourne’s growing communities, with dedicated support teams covering:

Melbourne's North & Northwest

Our teams provide comprehensive SIL services throughout Melbourne’s northern and northwestern suburbs, including areas experiencing rapid growth and development. We understand the unique opportunities and challenges these communities present.

Melbourne's West including Tarneit

With specialised knowledge of Melbourne’s western communities, including Tarneit and surrounding areas, our support workers help participants access local services, community programs, and recreational opportunities.

Geelong Region

Geelong offers unique advantages for many participants. Regional communities often provide stronger social connections. The pace of life differs from metropolitan areas. Some participants thrive in this calmer environment.


Extending our quality SIL services to the Geelong region, we support participants in both urban and regional settings, ensuring consistent, high-quality care regardless of location.


All our support workers are thoroughly screened, highly trained, and committed to providing culturally sensitive, person-centred care that respects individual backgrounds and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
