What SIL Looks Like at NAA

A home. Not a facility. Not a stepping stone.

Supported Independent Living at Nurse Aid Australia means a home — not a facility. Participants live in real homes across Adelaide, with support structured around their individual goals and clinical needs. For complex participants, support is woven into daily life — because that is what their needs require.

Staffing matched to needs

Staff present at levels appropriate to the participants’ support needs.

Clinical oversight integrated

Clinical oversight is woven into daily support — not delivered as a separate service.

Environments adapted to the cohort

Safety considerations, sensory factors, and routine structures built in from the start.

Clear communication protocols

Clear communication protocols for coordinators and families.

Who Our SIL Homes Are Designed For

Built for complex support needs

Forensic & Justice-Involved

Participants with forensic or justice-involved backgrounds transitioning to community living.

Acquired Brain Injury

Participants with acquired brain injury and associated cognitive and behavioural support needs.

Dementia Support

Participants living with dementia who require behaviour management and clinical oversight.

High Intensity Support

Participants requiring clinical support workers trained in high intensity daily activities including seizure management and complex medication administration.

If you are unsure whether a participant's needs match our capability — contact us on 1300 413 663. We will have an honest conversation.

How SIL Funding Works

Understanding NDIS SIL
funding and access

SIL is funded under the NDIS as Supported Independent Living — a separate funding line from the participant's core supports. Here is what needs to be in place before a participant can access a placement.

SIL funding in the NDIS plan

The participant needs SIL funding approved in their NDIS plan.

Assessment completed

An assessment is typically required — usually from an Occupational Therapist or Support Coordinator.

Provider selected

The participant (or their nominee) selects a SIL provider.

Service agreement established

A service agreement is established between the participant and the provider.

If you are a coordinator working on SIL funding for a participant, we can assist with the documentation and assessment process. If you are a family member or carer, we are happy to walk you through what is required.

SDA — Specialist Disability Accommodation
