Supported Independent Living (SIL) – Your Permanent Home
This is for when you’re ready to move into your own place with the right level of support built in. It’s not a trial. It’s not temporary. It’s your home, with your name on the NDIS plan, and support workers who are there because you need them, not because someone else thinks you should.
What SIL with MyCare CSS actually looks like:
You get your own private bedroom in a shared house (usually 3-4 people). The living areas are shared, which means yes, you’ll have housemates, but we don’t just throw people together and hope for the best. We actually pay attention to whether personalities mesh. If you’re a night owl who watches Netflix till 2am, we’re probably not putting you with someone who’s up at 5am for gym class.
Support is available 24/7, but that doesn’t mean someone’s hovering over you. It means there’s always a support worker in the house if you need help with personal care, medications, cooking, or if something goes wrong. For some people, that’s active support throughout the day. For others, it’s more like having a safety net in the background.
Here’s what’s actually included:
- Your own bedroom (lockable door, your space)
- Shared bathroom access (wheelchair accessible in all our homes)
- Open-plan kitchen and living areas
- All the usual stuff: heating/cooling, outdoor spaces, parking
- Support with personal care (showering, dressing, grooming, medications)
- Help with meals, or teaching you to cook if that’s one of your goals
- Household tasks (cleaning, laundry, shopping)
- Getting to appointments, work, social stuff
- Learning life skills, budgeting, cooking, using public transport
- Community connections, whatever that looks like for you
