What is SIL Under NDIS?
SIL, under the NDIS framework, provides daily support to participants so they can experience a higher quality of life and develop essential skills. It’s designed for individuals who need continuous support, typically in shared living environments, where they have access to round-the-clock assistance from trained support staff.
Sheltering Arms offers the necessary services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Moreover, we aim to promote personal growth and independence while building community connections. Through this program, participants experience meaningful engagements.
Who Is Eligible for NDIS Supported Independent Living?
One can receive tailored personal care, meal preparation assistance, and household management under this support. To qualify for this service, they must meet the following criteria:
Residency and Disability Status:
Applicants must be Australian citizens, permanent residents, or hold a protected special category visa. They must have a permanent and significant disability that substantially impacts their ability to perform daily activities.
Age:
The age of an applicant matters because it can affect the type of assistance requested. Individuals applying for this service must be aged between 18 and 65 years old.
Level of Support:
Also, they check and verify the extent of aid required at home to decide eligibility. In order to access this support, the applicant should demonstrate a need for ongoing support in multiple areas of daily life.
Accommodation Context:
As SIL is primarily offered in shared living environments, they consider whether one can share the benefits with others or need individual support. Remember, this funding does not cover rent, utilities, or food but focuses on the support services provided within the living arrangement.
How to Get Supported Independent Living Funding?
To get Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding under the NDIS, first, ensure you’re a registered participant and identify your need for daily living and overnight support. Gather evidence, such as healthcare reports, to support your case and discuss your SIL needs during your NDIS planning or review meeting.
A support coordinator can help find providers and prepare a SIL quote. You can then submit the quote to the NDIS for approval, and once funded, work with your provider to set up your living arrangement. Your plan must be updated during regular reviews to ensure continued support.
