Accommodation and General Costs
It is crucial to understand that SIL is solely a support fund, not a general living allowance. It does not cover rent, board, or a mortgage, as housing costs are the participant’s responsibility. It also excludes funding for separate Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA).
Everyday Living Expenses
The NDIS expects participants to cover typical, everyday expenses from their own income or benefits. SIL funding does not pay for groceries, household utilities (gas, electricity, phone), or general home furnishings. These are considered standard costs for any resident.
