Supported Independent Living (SIL) Explained: How BB Disability Makes It Work for You

Finding the right living arrangement isn’t just about where you stay, it's about feeling supported, respected, and confident in your day-to-day life. At BB Disability, our SIL services are designed to do exactly that: help you live more independently, while knowing you’ve got a caring team by your side.

Whether you’re moving out for the first time or looking for a more supportive environment, we’re here to make your transition as smooth, comfortable, and empowering as possible.

What Are SIL Services?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is NDIS-funded support for people living with disability who need help with daily tasks in a shared or individual living space. This can include things like:

  • Personal care (showering, dressing, grooming)

  • Cooking and meal preparation

  • Cleaning and household chores

  • Medication reminders

  • Building routines and life skills

But SIL is about more than just the basics it’s about helping you live life on your terms. It’s about developing independence, growing confidence, and feeling at home in a space that’s truly yours.

How BB Disability Makes SIL Work for You

We understand that no two people and no two homes are the same. That’s why we tailor our SIL services to suit your individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

Here’s what makes our approach different:

- Personalised matching – We help you find a living environment and housemates that fit your personality and goals.
- 24/7 support, only when needed – We’re there when you need us, and give you space when you don’t.
- Local homes, local carers – Our team knows your community and is nearby when it counts.
- Flexible, respectful care – You call the shots. We simply support you to live the life you choose.

Our homes are thoughtfully designed and located in welcoming neighbourhoods, with easy access to transport, shops, and services — because comfort and community matter.

Growing Confidence, One Step at a Time

We’ve seen firsthand how powerful the right environment can be. People who were once unsure about leaving home now proudly run their own routines, try new things, and build friendships they never thought possible.

That’s the heart of our SIL services creating a space where you’re supported not just to live, but to grow.
