Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Live Independently With The Right Support Around You

Your home should be a place where you feel comfortable, confident, and in control.

At Finchcare, our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services provide personalised assistance that helps NDIS participants develop independence, build daily living skills, and enjoy life in a way that reflects their own choices and goals.

Whether you need support with everyday activities, household routines, personal development, or community connection, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

What Is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is designed to help NDIS participants live as independently as possible while receiving the level of support that works for them.

At Finchcare, we believe independence looks different for everyone.

For some people, independence may mean learning new skills and managing more tasks themselves.

For others, it may mean having reliable support available when they need it while enjoying the freedom to make their own choices.

Our SIL support focuses on helping participants build confidence, maintain routines, and create a lifestyle that reflects their personal goals.

We provide support that empowers — not limits.

More Than A Place To Live — It’s Your Home

A home is not just a building.

It is where you create routines, memories, friendships, and independence.

At Finchcare, we focus on creating a supportive environment where participants feel respected and empowered.

Our approach encourages you to:

Make your own decisions
Develop confidence
Build everyday skills
Maintain relationships
Pursue personal interests

We work alongside you to create a living experience that feels meaningful and personal.

Your Home. Your Choices. Your Future.

At Finchcare, we understand that independence means having control over your own life.

Our SIL support is built around you. We take time to understand:

  • How you like to live
  • What support you need
  • What goals you want to achieve
  • What independence means to you

Our support workers encourage you to make choices, develop skills, and participate actively in your own life.

Because the best support does not replace independence — it helps create it.
