Home Is Where Growth Happens: BB Disability’s Supported Independent Living Explained
BB Disability & Health Services
At BB Disability, we’ve seen something truly special happen when the right support meets the right environment and people begin to thrive. And for many of the people we support, that journey starts with Supported Independent Living.
To us, a home is so much more than a roof and four walls. It’s where people build confidence, make their own choices, and start to feel truly independent sometimes for the first time in their lives.
What Is Supported Independent Living Really About?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of NDIS support that helps people with disabilities live in shared or individual homes with the help they need day-to-day. But here’s the thing SIL is about so much more than tasks and routines.
It’s about having the freedom to wake up in your own space, decide how you want your day to go, and know there’s someone nearby if you need a hand. Whether it’s help with cooking, cleaning, or managing medication, our team is there, not to take over, but to support your independence.
A Place to Call Your Own — with the Right Support
We know that moving out or finding a better housing fit can feel like a big leap. That’s why we take the time to really get to know each person and what matters to them.
At BB Disability, our SIL homes are comfortable, well-located, and matched to suit the people living in them. We don’t just place people in homes, we create a space that feels right for them.
You can expect:
Support workers who treat you with respect and listen
A focus on life skills and building confidence
Comfortable homes near local services and shops
Housemates with similar lifestyles and routines
The flexibility to live the way you want
It’s all about creating a real sense of home where you feel safe, seen, and supported.
Seeing People Grow Is Why We Do What We Do
We’ve seen people who came to us unsure or anxious about change, now thriving in homes where they’re learning new skills, making friends, and feeling proud of what they’ve achieved.
That’s the heart of SIL, it's not about what you can’t do. It’s about discovering what you can do, especially with the right support around you.
