Supported Independent Living (SIL)
SIL is an NDIS support designed for people who want to live more independently while receiving assistance with everyday activities. The level of support can be tailored to each participant, and depending on individual needs, may be provided on-site or on-call throughout the day.
The right SIL home should provide more than a safe place to live. CareX helps
participants explore suitable housing based on location, accessibility, support
requirements, housemate compatibility and community connections, so the home
genuinely supports your independence, comfort and lifestyle.
Carex Australia provides SIIL support across NSW, assisting with personal care, cooking, cleaning, medication management, community access, and developing independent living skills. We support participants with everyday needs as well as high and complex support requirements.
