A home that's yours — with support that fits your life.
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is help with the everyday tasks of living in your own home or a shared setting. It's about building the skills and confidence to live the way you want — not fitting into someone else's routine.
Your home, your routine, your call.
What SIL support
looks like
Day-to-day support
Daily routines & personal care
Morning and evening routines, personal care, medication prompts and support that respects your dignity and privacy.
Household & living skills
Cooking, cleaning, budgeting and shopping — building the skills to run your own home your way.
Community & connection
Getting to appointments, work, study and social activities — staying part of the community you choose.
Overnight & on-call support
From a few hours a week to active overnight support — matched to what your plan funds and what you need.
Health & wellbeing
Coordinating appointments, supporting healthy habits and keeping other providers in the loop.
Building independence
Every support is aimed at one thing: growing your capacity to do more for yourself, over time.
SIL may suit you if…
You want to live in your own place, with the right support around you.
You need regular help with daily tasks to live safely and independently.
You'd like to build skills to become more independent over time.
Your NDIS plan includes SIL or Core Supports funding.
Think you might be eligible for SIL? We'll help you get there.
A strong application, built together
Already have a support coordinator and team? Our experienced coordinators work alongside them — complementing the work you're already doing, never taking it over. And if you don't have a team yet, we can help you build one, with providers you choose. Either way, we help gather the right evidence and put forward a clear, compelling case for SIL funding.
Help finding the right home
We partner with many Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) providers across Australia — so if you need somewhere to live, we can help you find a home that suits you and receive your Ellira SIL supports there.
Matched to you, from day one
We get to know you
A free intake conversation about your home, your goals and how you like to be supported.
We match your team
Support workers chosen for the right skills and the right fit — people you're comfortable having in your home.
We adjust as you grow
Regular check-ins mean your support flexes as your skills, goals and life change.
Good to know
Is SIL the same as accommodation?
No. SIL funds the support you receive, not the rent or home itself. We can work alongside your existing living arrangement or an SDA home.
Can I choose who supports me?
Yes. Fit matters. We introduce you to your support team and adjust if it's not right — this is your home.
What if my needs change?
Your support scales up or down as your goals and circumstances change. We'll also help you prepare for plan reviews.
