How is SIL different from Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)?
SIL refers to the support services provided to help you live independently, while SDA refers to the physical housing or accommodation. Many participants receive both SIL and SDA funding, but they are separate components in your NDIS plan.
Can I choose who I live with?
We strive to match participants with compatible housemates based on lifestyle preferences, support needs, and personalities. Your input is valued in this process, and we work to find the best possible living arrangement for you.
How much privacy will I have?
All participants in our SIL homes have their own private bedroom. Common areas like kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms may be shared, depending on the accommodation. We respect your privacy and personal space while providing the support you need.
Can I have visitors in my SIL home?
Yes, you can have visitors in your home. We encourage maintaining relationships with family and friends. There may be some house guidelines about visitor hours to ensure all housemates' comfort and safety.
