Supported Independent Living (SIL)

We can support you to explore your options with access to a portfolio of quality share houses where we provide support in a group setting, or we can deliver holistic support to you in an environment you’ve already found for yourself. For those with complex needs, we have our own in-house behaviour support specialists who can work collaboratively with families, other providers and our own support workers to provide expert care, tailored to individual goals.

Astrid prayed that her sister Ingrid would find a home that was safe and supportive. See how Centacare helped Ingrid find her forever home using a thorough assessment process to ensure each person’s care needs, personality and interests are carefully matched with their housemates.

Jim finds the kind of care that fits

Jim is a proud and capable man who gets satisfaction from the smaller things in life. When he was approved for the NDIS, his sister Karen helped him move into a share home where he’d have the opportunity to contribute to his own day-to-day care. He can make his own bed, assist with meal preparation and be part of household routines. These things give Jim an enormous amount of satisfaction and a sense of purpose, which contributes to his overall confidence.

Sister of one of our share house residents

"A couple of months ago I was referred to Centacare and things have moved at lightning speed. The team are very efficient. They asked us lots of questions about Jim’s goals and how he wanted to live and they kept us informed throughout the process. "

Home means much more than a roof over your head. Service Delivery Manager, Jodie, explains how Centacare helps people transition into supported independent living so they feel safe, welcomed and supported.

Who can get funding for Supported Independent Living?

The NDIS has published a useful Supported Independent Living Participant Information Pack, which includes detailed information on how SIL works.
