Choosing the right pathway

SIL and SDA meet different needs.

SIL funds daily living support. SDA funds specialised housing for eligible participants.

Some people need SIL, some need SDA, and some receive both. We review support needs, accessibility requirements, preferred location and living arrangements before discussing suitable options.

Vacancies and household compatibility can change. Current options are therefore discussed directly with our accommodation team, with a home visit arranged where there is a suitable match.

Accommodation pathways

Understand the difference between SIL and SDA.

SIL relates to the support you receive to live independently. SDA relates to specialised housing designed for eligible participants with significant accessibility or support needs.

What we consider

A suitable home starts with the right information.

  • Support and clinical needs We review daily support, mobility, medication, behaviour support, equipment and overnight assistance.
  • Household compatibility Shared living options consider routines, communication, preferences, age and compatibility with other residents.
  • Location and accessibility We consider access to family, community, transport, appointments and any required home modifications.
  • Transition readiness We identify the documentation, staffing, equipment, introductions and staged transition needed before move-in.

How it works

From enquiry to move-in.

The process is coordinated with the participant, family, support coordinator and relevant health professionals.

Enquire and share information

Tell us the preferred location, timeframe, living arrangement, support needs and current NDIS funding.

02

Review needs and funding

We review reports, accessibility, support ratios, health requirements, risks and SIL or SDA funding.

03

Match and visit

Where a suitable option is available, we arrange a tour, introductions and compatibility discussions.

04

Plan the transition

We coordinate agreements, staffing, equipment, healthcare information and a staged move where required.
