About Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is help with daily tasks in a shared home, so you can live as independently as possible. The support is on site, built around the people who live there.
Western Sydney Services is expanding into Supported Independent Living as the next stage of its growth. The main WSS website lists the homes that are currently open and their vacancies — at the time of writing, a home in Merrylands. We don't list homes in every suburb, because we don't have them.
Homes are chosen and set up for real accessibility, privacy and comfort: private bedrooms alongside shared spaces, accessible design, and a support team you meet before you move in.
Who it's for
- Participants with SIL funding, or seeking it, who want shared supported living
- People moving out of the family home for the first time
- Participants moving from another SIL provider

How we can help
Support on site
A support team in the home, helping with daily tasks, routines and community access.
Accessible homes
Homes built or set up for mobility, with private bedrooms and shared spaces you choose to use.
Meet your team first
You meet your support workers before you move in.
Preparing for the move
Capacity building can help you practise the routines of shared living before you move.
How funding usually works
Usually funded under: Core Supports — Assistance with Daily Life (SIL)
SIL is funded in Core Supports when the NDIA agrees it is reasonable and necessary for you. The home itself (rent and board) is usually paid separately by the resident.
If you don't have SIL in your plan yet, your support coordinator or LAC can help you understand the process. We can explain how a home and its supports are set up.
General NDIS information. Your own plan decides what is funded — check it, or ask your plan manager, support coordinator or the NDIA (1800 800 110).
