Registered NDIS providerSupport built around your day, not the other way round
Supported Independent Living is NDIS funding for a support worker to help you at home, up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It pays for the people who support you, not the house itself. Depending on how much help you need, you might share a support worker with others in the home, or have your own.
Day to day it covers the practical things: personal care, showering and getting dressed, cooking meals, and household tasks like cleaning. The point is to help you live as independently as possible while building your skills over time.
How much support does SIL involve? As a guide, the NDIS says SIL may suit you if you need active support for more than 8 hours a day, plus supervision across the rest of the 24 hours.
A quieter setting, if that suits you better
Not everyone wants to live in a city. Ballina sits on the Northern Rivers coast, and for some participants a smaller, calmer town is simply a better fit than a busy suburb. It can mean a gentler pace and a community that feels easier to be part of.
- A serene coastal town setting
- A consistent team, not a rotating roster
- Nurse-led oversight behind the home
- Support to build skills and join in locally

The support that comes with the home

Personal care
Respectful help with showering, dressing, grooming and daily self-care, on your terms.
Meals and household
Cooking, cleaning, laundry and the everyday routines that keep a home running well.
Nurse-led oversight

Community integration
Support to get out, join in locally and stay connected to the people who matter to you.
Skill development

A stable, familiar team

Where you live should be a choice, not a leftover option
