Supported Accommodation Designed for Independent & Comfortable Living
Living independently doesn’t mean living without support. At Proven Care Plus, our Shared Independent Living (SIL) and Daily Care services provide NDIS participants with a safe, home-like environment where daily assistance and companionship are always available.
We help you develop everyday skills, build meaningful relationships with housemates, and enjoy full choice and control over your daily routine in a comfortable, shared home.
What is Shared Independent Living (SIL)?
Shared Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS support option designed for participants who require help with daily tasks and supervision throughout the day or night. SIL covers the support services delivered within a shared living home—such as personal care, meal preparation, and household chores.
While SIL funds the daily support workers and care routines, your room, rent, and personal utility costs are paid separately through your personal income or Disability Support Pension (DSP).
What We Assist You With
- 24/7 Daily Care & Supervision: Continuous support available day and night to ensure your safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
- Personal Care Routines: Respectful assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, and morning/evening routines.
- Meal Planning & Cooking: Nutritious meal preparation, grocery shopping, and accommodating specialized dietary needs.
- Household Management: Shared cleaning routines, laundry, ironing, and general home upkeep.
- Medication Administration: Prompting, oversight, and administration of medications according to your doctor’s orders.
- Skill Development & Capacity Building: Support to help you learn cooking, budgeting, self-care, and independent living skills over time.

Understanding the differences between supported accommodation options ensures you select the right support for your needs:
Shared Independent Living (SIL)

Short-Term Accommodation (STA / Respite)
Temporary, short-term stays (up to 14 days at a time) designed to give you a break, try independent living, or provide primary caregivers with temporary respite.
Live Independently with Total Peace of Mind

Who Can Access This Support?
Shared Independent Living (SIL) is available to eligible NDIS participants who require higher levels of daily support. Funding is allocated under:
- Core Supports: Assistance with Daily Life (Supported Independent Living)
Note: SIL funding is assessed through an NDIS functional assessment to confirm your eligibility for home-based care.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No. NDIS SIL funding pays exclusively for the support workers and care services inside the home. Rent, utilities (electricity, water, internet), and personal food costs are covered by your personal income or Disability Support Pension (DSP).
While SIL is typically designed for shared arrangements to optimize support resources, individual SIL funding options can be assessed by the NDIS if you have high complex needs that require individual accommodation.
Depending on your approved SIL funding, overnight support can include “active night” (a worker is awake and monitoring throughout the night) or “sleepover” (a worker sleeps at the property and is available if needed).
Absolutely. It is your home! Family and friends are welcome to visit according to standard household courtesy rules agreed upon by you and your housemates.
To access SIL funding, an Allied Health Professional (such as an Occupational Therapist) will complete a detailed Roster of Care (RoC) and functional assessment to submit to the NDIS for approval. Our team can guide you through this process.
