SIL or SDA? Cutting Through the Acronyms to Find the Right Home Explaining Supported Independent Living vs Specialist Disability Accommodation…
Supported Independent Living, or SIL, refers to a group of NDIS supports that help you live more independently. SIL funding pays for personal support with everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning, and activities outside the home like grocery shopping or catching public transport. It can also fund supports so you can build these skills over time.
Understanding what features suit your preferences and funding are key. Do you have a suburb or catchment area within which you would like to live? Do you need to be close to medical services, or public transport? Do you wish to live alone or with others? The Claro SDA finder (link) lets you filter by area, dwelling type, SDA design category and more, so you can see which homes are available. If you don’t see the perfect home we recommend still reaching out to our helpful team – one of our SDA partners may have the perfect home for you in their portfolio or in the pipeline and we are happy to refer you.
Both funding areas are designed to help you build your skills and enjoy your life, but each has a particular focus. Core Supports fund more of the day to day activities – exploring your community, participating in events, attending matches from your most loved sports team etc. Capacity Building Supports are designed to develop your skills and independence – think things like workshops and courses, volunteering, resume development and interview skills. It really comes down to your goals – if one of your goals is to overcome shyness and isolation, then group social activities could be considered a Capacity Building support.
One of the most important things to look for when selecting a provider is indications of their quality, like NDIS registration. NDIS registered providers have been assessed by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission and are approved to delivery supports to NDIS participants. Registered organisations meet strict quality, operational and safety standards, including undergoing rigorous audits, and agree to abide by the NDIS Code of Conduct. Claro is a registered provider and we thoroughly screen our workers to ensure they abide by the standards set by NDIS registration.
