SIL is the support, not the house. We provide 24/7 supported independent living across Greater Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, in your own home, a rental, or one of our homes in Clayton or Frankston, including complex and high-intensity needs.
Supported Independent Living is the funded help you receive at home so you can live as independently as possible. The important bit people miss: SIL is the support, not the property.
That means you can bring your own housing and we provide the SIL supports in it, or you can look at one of our homes and decide whether we are the right fit. You stay in control of both decisions.
Some people need more than standard support. This is where we are strongest, and where a lot of providers quietly are not.
High-intensity supports overseen by Authorised Program Officers.
PBS plans built around the person and delivered by staff trained in them, working alongside your behaviour support practitioner.
Epilepsy and seizure management, mealtime support, medication administration, complex mobility, personal care, and palliative support.
1 room availableBright bayside living in Frankston, with big shared spaces and room to breathe. A warm three-bedroom household you can be part of, close to the beach and the shops.

A settled four-bedroom home on a quiet Clayton street, with shops, cafes and transport all close by. Plenty of room to be yourself, and support on hand around the clock.

Our SIL homes sit under Nathalia, our Compliance Manager for Home & Living, who bridges two areas most providers keep separate: compliance and the accommodation itself. That means the standard of the house and the standard of the paperwork are held by the same person.
Day to day service delivery sits with Emma, our Service Delivery Manager, and operations with Nicole, Head of Operations, who brings over 20 years across disability, employment and community services.
Meet the team →SIL is the support you receive. SDA is the housing itself, purpose-built accommodation for people with high physical support or extreme functional impairment needs. You can have SIL support in an SDA property, in a rental, or in a home you already live in. They are funded separately in your plan.
No. We provide SIL support in your own home, a private rental, an SDA property, or a home arranged by another provider. Our own homes are an option, not a requirement.
Carefully, and never just on who has a bed free. We look at daily routines, support ratios, interests, and how people are likely to get along, and we arrange a visit before anything is agreed. Getting this wrong makes everyone miserable, so we take our time with it.
Yes. This is a core part of what we do, including positive behaviour support, epilepsy and seizure management, mealtime support, medication administration and complex mobility. High-intensity supports are overseen by Authorised Program Officers.
We support participants across Greater Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, with SIL homes in Clayton and Frankston. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call us and we will tell you straight.
Our SIL homes are in Clayton and Frankston, but SIL is the support, not the house. If you already have housing in Glen Eira, Bayside, Kingston or further out, we bring the support to you.
A few of the people we've supported, in their own words.
Greater consistency, greater calm.

We will talk it through properly before anything else happens, and we will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.
