Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is support with everyday life at home. Focus ACT works with people across Canberra and the ACT to shape daily support around their routines, choices and goals.
For participants, families and referrers
Start a conversation about SIL
Contact us to discuss a person’s support needs and goals, preferred timing and location, and any relevant NDIS funding they already know about. This helps us have an initial capacity discussion.
A conversation is not a confirmation of a placement, available capacity or NDIS funding eligibility. Please do not send sensitive documents with an initial enquiry.
Make a SIL enquiryWhat SIL does and does not cover
SIL is NDIS-funded support with daily living, such as help with routines and building independence. It is separate from housing and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). SIL does not require someone to live in a Focus ACT home, and people can choose a different provider for their supports.
