SIL (Supported Independent Living)/ Respite/ ILO
We all value having a place we can call home. It provides us with a sense of protection, privacy, and identity and serves as a place to relax, rest, and revitalize. SIL funding is included in your NDIS plan so that you can purchase support to live more independently in your home. Each participant of a SIL property has their own funding, which reflects the individual and shared assistance they receive in the home, even though NDIS participants in a SIL house may share support staffEvery NDIS plan will have different goals, requirements, and needs. A ratio of support staff to participants is used to describe shared support. For example, a participant with a ratio of 1:2 will require more support than a participant with a ratio of 1:4 .
