Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living in Woden Valley
What SIL is, who it's for and how to access it, with registered nurse oversight in every home we support, for people living across the Woden Valley district (ACT), including Phillip, Garran, Curtin, Hughes and Mawson.
Overview
What is supported independent living?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS funding for help with daily tasks in your home, so you can build skills and live as independently as possible. It is most often delivered in a shared home, with support available up to 24 hours a day.
SIL pays for the support, not the house. Rent and living costs are paid by you, and the home itself may be funded separately through Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) if you're eligible.
We match housemates carefully, considering personalities, interests, age, culture and support needs, and every home has a consistent team led by a house supervisor with clinical oversight from our registered nurses.
How we do it differently
- 01
Thoughtful housemate matching
Visits, shared meals and trial stays before you commit, so you can meet housemates first.
- 02
Registered nurse oversight
Our clinical team reviews health plans, medication and risks in every home.
- 03
Skills that grow
Every resident has goals, and we track progress towards more independence.

Do you provide supported independent living in Phillip?
Yes. We support people across the Woden Valley district, including Phillip, Garran, Curtin, Hughes and Mawson, through our metropolitan teams.
Can you help with discharge from The Canberra Hospital?
Yes. We work with discharge teams at The Canberra Hospital and other hospitals serving Woden Valley to plan a safe move home or into supported accommodation.
What's the difference between SIL, SDA and ILO?
SIL funds the support you receive at home. SDA funds specialist housing for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. Individualised Living Options (ILO) fund flexible support in your own home or a host arrangement, usually for people who don't need 24/7 rostered support.
How do I get SIL in my NDIS plan?
Talk to your support coordinator or planner about your home and living goals. You'll usually need functional assessments (for example from an occupational therapist) and a roster of care from a provider. We can prepare the roster and help gather evidence.
Can I visit a home before moving in?
Yes. We encourage visits, shared meals and trial stays before any move.
