Under the NDIS, housing supports are individualised and only funded when they are reasonable and necessary. Two common living arrangements people explore are shared supported living and more independent living with in-home supports.

Accessibility is about removing barriers so disabled people can live safely, participate in community life, and exercise genuine choice.

When exploring support options under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), it’s common to come across two terms that sound similar but serve very different purposes.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides a range of home and living supports to help participants live more independently.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that helps people with disabilities live more independently, usually in a shared home with other participants.
