Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides 24/7 support to help people with disability live as independently as possible in a shared home environment. But before funding can be approved, the NDIA requires participants to meet specific eligibility criteria.
To be eligible for SIL funding, participants must:
- Provide evidence that they are unable to live without 24/7 support. This is assessed through a Functional Assessment Report (FAR) completed by an Allied Health professional.
- Provide an Identifying Housing Solutions report from a support coordinator.
Eligibility also considers informal supports provided by family, carers, networks, and the broader community. Importantly, the supports must be both effective and beneficial to the participant’s needs and goals.
Navigating these requirements can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Sunnyfield’s experienced team can guide you through the process, help coordinate the necessary reports, and support you in determining your eligibility for SIL funding.
