WHAT IS SIL?

What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS funding for support workers to help you at home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s for people who need help at home all the time but still want to run their own life. You can share support with housemates or have a worker to yourself.

SIL support includes:

  • Personal care, including showering, dressing and grooming.
  • Meal preparation, cooking and everyday nutrition.
  • Household tasks such as cleaning, laundry and keeping the house in order.
  • Budgeting, bill paying and managing your money.
  • Building daily living skills, social skills and confidence.
  • Supervision, personal safety and support on call at any hour.

SIL funding pays for the SUPPORT — not the rent. The accommodation may be funded separately through SDA or your own resources.

How SIL Works in 3 Steps

How Supported Independent Living Works
at Dynamic Support Services

STEP 01

  • We Get to Know You It starts with a conversation, not a form. A team member sits down with you and the people who support you. We want to understand your goals, your routine and what a good day looks like.

STEP 02

  • We Match You to a Home and Team Then we match you to a house and a support team. We weigh up location, accessibility and who you would be living with. You meet your support team before you move in.

STEP 03

  • You Move In and Build Independence Once you're settled, your team helps you build the skills you want, at your pace. We review how it's going and adjust your support as your needs change.

Who Is Supported Independent Living For?

SIL is ideal for NDIS participants who:

  • Need help with daily tasks (personal care, meals, household management)
  • Need support or supervision at some level across all 24 hours of the day.
  • Want to live independently while keeping help close by.
  • Are open to sharing a home, or need support to live on their own.
  • Have goals around building skills, confidence and community connection.

SIL isn’t the right fit if you only need a few hours of help a day or a week. Other NDIS home and living supports may suit you better. Talk to us either way and we’ll point you to the right one.

NDIS Funding for SIL

What NDIS Funding Covers for Supported Independent Living

The NDIA works out your SIL funding from the support you need on an ordinary day, plus the extra hours you need when the day goes sideways.
Four things shape the number:

  • Regular supports. The hours you need on a regular day, planned with your provider and delivered the same way each week.
  • Irregular supports. Cover for the unexpected. The NDIA funds 10 irregular support days a year for participants with standard support needs, and 15 for those with high intensity support needs.
  • Standard support. The pricing level most participants are funded at.
  • High intensity support. For participants who need workers with extra qualifications and experience, including complex behaviour support.

The NDIS pricing arrangements set the maximum rates a provider can charge. We work within them and put your service agreement in writing before any support starts.

SIL vs SDA vs Respite

What Is the Difference?

People mix these up constantly. SDA is the building. SIL is the people who support you inside it. Respite is a short stay away from home, and plenty of participants hold both SDA and SIL funding at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About NDIS Support in Sydney

What is the difference between SIL and SDA housing?

SIL funds the support workers who help you at home. SDA funds the house itself, built for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Plenty of participants hold both. Dynamic Support Services runs SIL and SDA homes across Western Sydney.

You don’t pay for SIL out of pocket. It comes out of your NDIS plan at the rates in the NDIS pricing arrangements, which are updated each year. What you’re funded depends on the hours you need and whether you’re funded at standard or high intensity support.

Yes. We match housemates on age, gender and lifestyle, and we visit you first to understand what environment suits you best. You meet your support team before you move in.

SIL goes into your plan after the NDIA looks at your home and living needs. Your support coordinator or my NDIS contact can start that conversation. If SIL is already funded, you can choose your provider at any time.

Yes. SIL can be delivered in a shared house or on your own. The NDIA bases your funding on the support you need, not on how many people live with you.

Call us and we’ll walk you through it. We update your service agreement, coordinate with your current provider and set a start date that suits you. There is no cost to switch. Since 1 July 2026, every provider delivering SIL must be registered with the NDIS Commission, and Dynamic Support Services is a registered NDIS provider.

Participant Stories

Words from the people we walk with

I have engaged with Dynamic Support Services (DSS) for over a year now supporting NDIS participants to access Short Term Accommodation (STA) at their site in Sydney Olympic Park. A core role of my position as a Support Coordinator is to offer choice and provide options for an array of services for my clients who are living with severe and persistent mental health issues. However, due to the consistency of prompt and professional interactions I have experienced with DSS, the clean, modern and state of the art STA facilities (which has been reinforced with feedback from the participants who have accessed their STA), DSS is at the top of the list for flexible and recovery orientated STA service provision.

I have been accessing Dynamic Support Services for around 4 years now for STA. I always receive the absolute best support from not only the support workers whom support me for my stay, but all DSS staff including management. The apartments at Olympic Park are situated perfectly for myself as I attend events regularly at Olympic Park, they are so comfortable and extremely clean. DSS assist me with not only being able to attend my events but also with meals and transportation throughout Sydney. I feel right at home from the moment of being picked up and dropped back off to go back home. I actually travel a long way to get to my STA but it is absolutely well worth it, all support workers always go above and beyond to cater for my needs. I must make special mention to Shenna, as she is so professional in everything she does. I highly recommend Dynamic Support Services to anyone, you won’t be disappointed. I always look forward to coming back.

Choosing a care service is a difficult time for families. Are we doing the right thing? Will they provide the quality of care our loved ones need and deserve? Will our loved ones be happy? I contacted several options, but wasn’t completely comfortable. That changed from our first visit to Rose House. We were immediately comfortable and impressed with Dynamic’s ethos, communications, and practices, and were very hopeful J would fit in. A year and a bit later, and we’re completely happy, confident we made the right choice. I’ve been really impressed with the level < of care and kindness J receives from the Rose team. It’s obvious to me that the team genuinely care for all their residents, meeting the needs of their different personalities. It’s also obvious that J trusts and loves her care team in return.

We recently attended a call for Peter, who was being assessed for a possible infection. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that your team was exceptionally well-prepared and professional. We were given prompt access to the home and greeted warmly. Staff had all relevant documentation ready, provided a thorough and detailed handover, answered all our questions confidently, and had someone prepared to accompany the patient to the hospital. It was genuinely a pleasure to attend your care home and interact with your team. All too often, we encounter care facilities < where staff are ill-equipped to assist paramedics or provide even basic patient information. In contrast, your team demonstrated an outstanding level of patient-centred care and professionalism.
