Frequently Asked Questions About SIL in Darra
1. What makes Darra a great place for SIL accommodation?
Darra is a vibrant suburb with a rich history and a strong sense of community. It offers excellent transport links via the Darra train station and easy road access via the Ipswich and Centenary Motorways. This combination of community spirit and convenience makes it an ideal place to build an independent and connected life .
2. How is SIL different from SDA?
It’s an important distinction! SIL (Supported Independent Living) is the funding for the support services you receive to help you live independently, like assistance with personal care or meal preparation. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is the funding for the physical, accessible housing itself. You can have SIL funding without SDA, but SDA residents often have SIL support as well .
3. Can I choose my own routine and meals?
Absolutely! We encourage you to make your own choices. Our support workers are here to assist you in planning and preparing meals you enjoy and establishing a daily routine that works for your lifestyle and goals. You are in control of your life, and we are here to support your choices .
4. What is the process for moving in?
It starts with a conversation! We’ll arrange a time for you to visit the home and meet the team. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll work with you and your support coordinator to ensure a smooth and supported transition into your new home .
