Supported Independent Living (SIL) is the largest single line item in many participants’ NDIS plans, often valued at $250,000 to $750,000+ per year. Because of the dollar value, SIL applications carry the highest evidence burden in the NDIS.

What is SIL?

Supported Independent Living is shared or individual 24/7 support funding for participants who require help with daily living tasks at home. SIL pays for support workers — not for rent or property — and is funded under Core — Assistance with Daily Life.

Why Independent SIL Assessments Matter

The NDIA increasingly scrutinises SIL applications where the assessment has been completed by the proposed provider. An independent assessor with no commercial interest in the outcome significantly strengthens the evidentiary value of the report.
