SIL Accommodation
A SIL home should be somewhere you choose to live, not just somewhere you are placed.
SIL Accommodation
Supported Independent Living gives NDIS participants the staffing they need to live in a residential home setting while actively developing greater self-reliance over time. The emphasis at People’s First Choice Australia is on that second word: independent. Every support interaction in our SIL homes is designed to strengthen a resident’s own capability, not just to manage their day-to-day needs on their behalf. That distinction matters, and it shapes outcomes in a way that participants and families notice quickly.

What Makes PFCA SIL Different
We take house culture seriously. The relationships between residents and support workers, the tone of daily interactions, and the sense of community within a household all contribute to how well participants actually do in a SIL setting. We deliberately invest in these things because the research, and our own experience, confirms that they matter enormously.
We support SIL participants with a wide range of disability-related needs, including physical disability, acquired brain injury, intellectual disability, and psychosocial disability. SIL proposals are developed collaboratively with the NDIA, allied health teams, and families to ensure every placement is evidence-based and genuinely person-centred.
What We Provide
- Shared and individual SIL residential arrangements with consistent support teams
- Personal care, hygiene, grooming, and dressing support
- Meal planning, nutritional support, and kitchen skill development
- Household management, domestic tasks, and home maintenance support
- Community engagement, social inclusion programs, and day activities
- Positive behaviour support plans developed in partnership with specialist clinicians
- SIL proposal writing and NDIA submission support for new placements
SIL support at PFCA is designed in close collaboration with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, behaviour support practitioners, and NDIA planners. This ensures every resident receives a living arrangement and support model that is clinically appropriate, goal-oriented, and sustainable over time.
