What is supported independent living, or SIL?
Supported independent living (SIL) is an NDIS support package that helps people with disability live more independently. You can live in your own place or share a home with others who have similar goals.
At Afford, we know that independence is different for everyone. For some people, independence means cooking dinner with a friend or having a lift to the shops. For others, it means having someone nearby to lend a hand or share a laugh when the day gets tricky.
SIL can include help with everyday chores like cleaning, cooking and personal care. It can also include getting involved with the community or going to fun events. Tell us what matters most to you, and we’ll help make it happen.
Our friendly team will help you find the right housemates in our comfortable SIL in Redland Bay. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable, confident and connected wherever you live.

How to pay for SIL
Funding and eligibility
You can pay for supported independent living through your NDIS plan or with your own money.
Our team has years of experience providing SIL in Redland Bay and across Queensland. Our team can help you understand what your funding covers and what’s not included. You can also talk to your NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator.
We’ll go through details like:
- Your age (SIL is for people aged 18 and over)
- The type of supports you need
- Your goals and daily routines
- Any reports, assessments or home modifications required
- What value for money means to you
We also have options for people who are self-funded and want to access our range of disability services.
Board and lodging
Your SIL funding doesn’t include rent or everyday living costs. These can be covered by your Disability Support Pension, Commonwealth Rent Assistance or other income. If you’d like help understanding these costs, we’ll explain everything clearly. Contact our team on the phone at 1800 233 673 or by filling out our online form.
