Supported Independent Living for Greater Everyday Freedom
At DOLTAK CARE PTY LTD, we believe every participant deserves the opportunity to live as independently as possible in a home that truly suits them. Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) service provides tailored, in-home support for people who need help with daily tasks and personal care while living in shared or individual accommodation, helping them build skills, confidence, and a genuine sense of home.
What Is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living is an NDIS-funded support that provides participants with assistance and supervision in their home, whether that’s shared accommodation with other participants or an individual living arrangement. It focuses on helping people live as independently as their circumstances allow.
- Support delivered in shared or individual living settings
- Assistance available across daily hours, overnight, or around the clock depending on need
- Funding based on assessed support needs, not a fixed rate
- Distinct from Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), which relates to the physical building itself
What’s Included Under SIL
Our SIL workers provide practical, everyday assistance that helps participants manage their household and personal routines safely and confidently. This includes:
- Support with cooking, cleaning, and household tasks
- Personal care such as showering, dressing, and grooming
- Medication management and prompting
- Help building daily living and life skills
- Support attending appointments and community activities
- Overnight or 24/7 support for those with higher needs
- Assistance managing household budgets and shared living responsibilities
Who Can Benefit From SIL?
SIL is suited to participants who need regular support with daily tasks but want to live outside the family home or in a setting with greater independence. It’s particularly valuable for people with intellectual disabilities, psychosocial disabilities, or physical disabilities who benefit from consistent, in-home assistance alongside opportunities to build everyday living skills.
Why Choose Us for SIL?
At DOLTAK CARE PTY LTD, we focus on creating home environments where participants feel genuinely supported, not just cared for. Here’s what sets us apart:
- Consistent, trained support workers matched to individual needs
- Strong emphasis on building independence, not dependence
- Respectful, person-centred approach to shared living arrangements
- Careful matching of housemates to support compatibility
- Ongoing communication with families and support coordinators
- Flexible support levels that adjust as needs change
Our referral can help your loved one live an enriching life.
How Do We Ensure SIL Support that Aligns With Your Needs?
We start by understanding each participant’s goals, routines, and support needs, then work with them, their family, and their support coordinator to design a living arrangement that genuinely fits. Support plans are reviewed regularly to make sure they continue to reflect changing needs and growing independence.
