What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a key component of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), designed to enable individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible. At Koala Care, we understand that independence means different things to different people. Our SIL program is tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, preferences, and goals, fostering a sense of ownership and autonomy in their daily lives.

Our Approach to Supported Independent Living:

• Person-Centred Planning

We begin by engaging in thorough discussions with the individual, their family, and support network. By understanding personal aspirations and challenges, we co-create a customized support plan that outlines specific goals and strategies for achieving greater independence.

• Safe and Supportive Homes

Our well-appointed residences are designed to offer a safe, comfortable, and inclusive living environment. Each home is equipped with the necessary modifications and assistive technologies to ensure that individuals can navigate their surroundings with ease.

• Life Skills Development

We believe that empowerment comes from mastering practical life skills. Our skilled support staff work collaboratively with residents to teach and reinforce skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, time management, and personal care.

• Community Integration

Social connections are integral to a fulfilling life. Our SIL program encourages active community participation, assisting individuals in engaging with their neighbourhood, pursuing hobbies, and building meaningful relationships.

• Individualised Support

Our trained and compassionate staff members provide assistance based on individual needs. This might include help with medication management, transportation, scheduling appointments, and ensuring a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.
