What is SIL?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides the support you need to live independently in a home that suits your lifestyle, preferences, and support needs.

Whether you’re looking for a shared home or a more tailored arrangement, we work with you and your support network to find the right fit.

SIL may be suitable if you:

  • Need daily support with personal care or routines

  • Want to live more independently

  • Are looking for a shared or supported living environment

  • Have complex or high support needs

  • Are transitioning from home, hospital, or another provider

What makes our SIL different?

  • Experienced with complex and high-risk supports

  • Flexible support models (not one-size-fits-all)

  • Carefully matched households

  • Consistent support teams

  • Strong focus on routine, independence, and stability

  • Local team across the Fleurieu and Adelaide South
