SIL Referral Form

What is SIL?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a new model of Supported Accommodation funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
SIL is generally for people living in shared supported arrangements. Participants living on their own, requiring 24/7 care, may also be eligible for SIL when it is required as a result of high support needs.

Residents will receive support with everyday tasks like cleaning, cooking, and personal care. Other areas of support may be with:

* maintaining a household.
* building skills for shopping and cooking for healthy eating.
* accessing local community groups & activities.
* developing and maintaining connections with family and friends.
* specialised behaviour support.

Roshana Care Group works with a group of highly trained and experienced staff who can provide a safe and supportive environment in our supported homes.

Who is SIL for?
Our SIL services are suitable for people between the ages of 18 and 65 who live with a psychosocial- disability. Our residents are encouraged and supported to live as independently as possible. Each resident will have an individually tailored program of supports, depending on their needs and how they want to live their life. There are three levels of support provided under SIL:

Lower needs
This support provides supervision of living arrangements as a whole including occasional to intermittent prompting to undertake household tasks and / or self- care activities. This supervision is not usually provided 24/7.

Standard needs
This support provides 24/7 support including active assistance or supervision of most daily tasks and regular inactive overnight supports (sleepover shift).

Higher needs
This support provides intensive 24/7 support including continual, active assistance with all daily tasks, specialized behaviours support and active overnight support.
