At Caring Humanity, we understand how important it is for people with disabilities to live independently while still having the support they need.
Including people with disabilities, living independently is all what we need. Supported Independent Living (SIL) offers a balanced approach, allowing individuals to enjoy the freedom of independent living while receiving assistance with daily tasks as required.
At Caring Humanity, we believe that with the right support, every person can lead a fulfilling life, live in their own home, and be an active part of their community.
We’re dedicated to ensuring that Supported Independent Living is not just about getting assistance, it’s about enhancing your quality of life, giving you more control, and helping you set and achieve personal goals. Our services are provided with respect, dignity, and a focus on empowerment.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded service that helps people with disabilities live as independently as possible while still receiving the support they need with daily tasks. It balances freedom and support by allowing participants to make their own choices about routines, activities, and goals, while trained support workers provide assistance where required. This approach ensures individuals maintain control over their lives while staying safe, supported, and confident in their living environment.
Caring Humanity’s SIL services typically include assistance with personal care, meal preparation, medication management, household tasks, mobility support, and daily routines. In addition, participants receive help with building life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and maintaining a home, along with support to engage in community activities. The level of support is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals, ensuring a personalised and practical approach to everyday living.
Yes, Caring Humanity can provide 24/7 support for SIL participants where required, including overnight and active support. The level of care is based on the participant’s NDIS plan and individual needs, ranging from drop-in assistance to continuous supervision. This ensures participants feel safe and supported at all times while still maintaining as much independence as possible.
SIL funding is generally designed for shared or supported accommodation settings where support is provided regularly, but in some cases it can also be used in a participant’s own home if the arrangement meets NDIS criteria and demonstrates a clear need for ongoing support. The suitability depends on individual circumstances, support requirements, and approval within the NDIS plan, so it’s important to discuss options with a provider like Caring Humanity or a support coordinator.
Caring Humanity assists participants in finding suitable SIL accommodation by understanding their preferences, support needs, and lifestyle goals. This may include helping to identify shared living options, connecting with appropriate housing providers, and ensuring compatibility with other residents. They also guide participants through the transition process, making it smoother and less stressful when moving into a supported living environment.
Caring Humanity supports participants throughout the NDIS process by helping them understand SIL funding, preparing for planning meetings, and ensuring their support needs are clearly documented. They can also work alongside support coordinators to align services with NDIS goals, provide supporting documentation, and help maximise the use of available funding so participants receive the right level of care.
Yes, respite support can be arranged alongside SIL services to give family caregivers a break while ensuring the participant continues to receive consistent care. This may be provided in-home or through Short-Term Accommodation (STA), depending on the participant’s plan and preferences. By integrating respite with SIL, Caring Humanity helps maintain a sustainable care arrangement for both participants and their families.
