At Sunshine Coast Support Services (SCSS), our Supported Independent Living (SIL) service is designed to empower individuals with disabilities to live independently, with personalised support tailored to their unique needs. Whether you’re looking to live on your own or share accommodation with others, our SIL service is here to help you live the life you choose in a safe and supportive environment.
What is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides assistance with everyday tasks to help individuals with disabilities live as independently as possible. This can include support with personal care, household tasks, cooking, and participation in the community. SIL is a core support funded by the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) for those who need 24/7 support or ongoing assistance in their home.
Our SIL Services Include:
- Personalised Support Plans: We work with participants to create individual support plans that meet their specific needs and goals. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, building independence, or managing health, our team is here to provide the support you need.
- 24/7 Support: Our staff is available around the clock, offering assistance whenever it’s needed. We provide a balance of care and independence to ensure participants feel empowered and safe in their living environment.
- Tailored Living Arrangements: We offer flexible accommodation options to suit different needs, whether you prefer living on your own or in a shared setting with other participants. Each home is fully equipped, comfortable, and designed to support your lifestyle.
- Daily Life Skills: Our team helps participants develop essential life skills, such as budgeting, meal preparation, cleaning, and personal care. These skills are critical for fostering independence and confidence in everyday life.
- Community Access: We encourage participants to engage with their local community through social, educational, and recreational activities. Our support workers assist with transport and participation, helping individuals build connections and live fulfilling lives.
- Positive Behaviour Support: Our team is trained in supporting individuals with complex behaviours, providing the structure and strategies needed to promote positive outcomes.
