Care Software for Supported Independent Living Under the NDIS.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) remains one of the most widely used supports within the National Disability Insurance Scheme, providing funded assistance for people with disability who require daily support while living in shared or individual accommodation. Rather than covering rent or the building itself, SIL funding focuses on the support services delivered in the home, such as personal care, help with meals and household tasks, medication management and assistance with community participation.

Eligibility for SIL typically applies to participants who require regular daily support, cannot safely live alone without assistance, or need help developing independent living skills. It is important to distinguish SIL from Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), which funds the physical housing designed for people with high support needs. In many cases, participants may receive SIL support within an SDA home, combining specialised housing with ongoing care and assistance.

As planning reforms continue to emphasise accountability and outcomes, providers are increasingly relying on purpose-built care management platforms to coordinate services, track compliance, and manage complex support arrangements. Solutions such as those offered by CareVision help disability support providers manage SIL delivery more effectively while maintaining visibility across participant care, workforce coordination and reporting requirements.
