We work alongside people to create places to live that have the right balance of support and independence, using the SIL and SDA funding in their NDIS plan, because a good life starts at home.
We currently have vacancies in the Ballarat area with more in development.
Let us know, if you’re looking for a home with a bit more room to move, a slower pace with a localised support team, or something away from the big city but within easy travel to the regional hub of Ballarat.

Supported Independent Living means providing support in a person’s home as needed. It is offered for a range of different housing types and aligns with funding people may receive from the NDIS. To find out more about NDIS support for specialist disability accommodation, go to the NDIS website.
Supported Independent Living (SIL):
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA):
Supported Independent Living and Specialist Disability Accommodation are two key components of disability support in Australia, primarily funded through the NDIS. Here’s how they work:
Supported Independent Living (SIL):
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA):
A person can receive SDA funding for their housing and SIL funding for support services.
Not everyone who receives SIL needs to live in SDA housing.
Participants can choose their preferred SDA property and SIL provider separately.
SIL funding is for people who cannot live independently without significant assistance.
If you are able to live independently with minimal or no support, you might not qualify for SIL funding.
The NDIS will assess how much help you need to manage daily tasks.
Specific eligibility factors include:
The process:
1. Assessment of eligibility through NDIS planning.
2. Selection of appropriate housing and support providers.
3. Development of a service agreement.
4. Regular reviews to ensure support meets needs.
