Frequently Asked Questions About SIL in Eight Mile Plains
1. What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is funding for the support services you receive to help you live independently, like assistance with personal care or meal preparation. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is funding for the physical, accessible housing itself. You can receive SIL support in various settings, including an SDA property.
2. Who is eligible for SIL funding?
SIL is typically available to NDIS participants who have been assessed as needing significant support with daily tasks to live independently. Your eligibility is determined by the NDIS based on your individual support needs.
3. Can I visit the Eight Mile Plains SIL property before deciding?
Yes, absolutely. We strongly encourage you and your support network to visit our homes. We happily arrange in-person property inspections to help you determine if it feels like the right fit for you.

Our Eight Mile Plains home is designed for three residents, and we maintain appropriate support ratios to ensure you receive attentive care while also fostering independence. The exact ratio is tailored to the collective needs of the residents.
