SIL Engagement

To foster a seamless and supportive living environment for SDA residents, these providers enter into collaboration agreements. These agreements are meticulously designed to align with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) standards for both SIL and SDA services, while also encapsulating the roles and responsibilities of SDA providers alongside the residency rights of SDA residents, as dictated by the tenancy legislation relevant to each Australian state.

Key Features of Our Collaboration Agreements:

Compliance with NDIS Requirements: Ensuring that both SIL and SDA services meet the high standards set by the NDIS, providing peace of mind for residents and their families.

Defined Roles and Responsibilities: Clearly outlining the contributions of both SDA and SIL providers to avoid overlaps and ensure a cohesive support network.

Residency Rights Protection: Adhering to state-specific tenancy legislation to safeguard the rights of SDA residents, ensuring they have a secure and stable living environment.

Support for Residents: Detailing the mechanisms through which residents will be supported in understanding and exercising their rights and responsibilities, promoting independence and self-advocacy.

This arrangement not only fosters a sense of community among residents with similar support needs but also offers numerous benefits:

• Freedom and Independence: Residents enjoy greater autonomy over their daily lives.
• Choice and Control: SIL provides more flexibility in scheduling and activities.
• Cost Efficiency: Sharing expenses like rent and utilities reduces living costs.
• Community: Living with peers offers social benefits and opportunities for shared experiences.
• Skill Development: Residents have opportunities to learn new skills and engage in new activities.

Assessment: An Occupational Therapist assesses your support needs.

Coordination: Your Support Coordinator reviews current supports and identifies the level of SIL support required.

Accommodation and Provider Selection: Together with your Support Coordinator, you explore suitable accommodation options and select an SIL provider.

Roster of Care (RoC): Your chosen SIL provider drafts a RoC, detailing the weekly support structure. This document, once agreed upon, outlines the necessary funding.

NDIS Submission: A change of circumstances form, along with the RoC and provider’s quote, is submitted to the NDIS for review.

Approval and Funding: Upon approval, the SIL budget is allocated in your NDIS plan, enabling the transition to accommodation.

Our Commitment to Collaborative Support

In our collaborative agreements between SDA and SIL providers, we are dedicated to ensuring that residents not only find a forever home but also receive the support they need to live as independently as possible. By integrating SIL within the SDA framework, we aim to create environments that are not just about living but thriving. Together, we are committed to providing a holistic approach to care, where every resident is empowered to lead a fulfilling life.
