The NDIS plays a crucial function in making Independent Living Support accessible to those that need it. Under the NDIS, participants are offered with funding based on their goals and needs. This funding helps participants attain their desired level of independence and is then used to cover the costs of services. 

The most significant advantage of NDIS independent living support is the elevated freedom it offers. For people with disabilities, having the opportunity to live in a self-directed and more independent way can lead to a way of empowerment and larger confidence. 

How independent living & daily core supports works under the NDIS 

NDIS independent living support sits under the Home and Living supports category. This category focuses on giving participants greater control and choice l over where they live and the type of assistance they obtain. 

• Independent living is usually funded through the Core Supports budget in a participant’s plan.
• This means the funding is intended to cover personal support, not the property itself. 
• When someone receives this funding, it usually includes 24/7, ongoing support, depending on their level of need. 
• Some participants may live in a shared arrangement where different residents each obtain a portion of everyday assistance from a rostered team.

Benefits of independent living & daily core supports under NDIS 

Independent living & daily core supports matters as: 

• Empowerment and Autonomy: Promoting empowerment and independence of individuals with disabilities is one of main advantages of independent living & daily core supports. 
• Adaptability and Flexibility: The NDIS SIL service was created to accommodate change in the form of new challenges, independence and skills acquisition and also be adaptable 
• Individualised Support: Personalised support that meets each participant’s specific preferences and requirements is the goal of the SIL program. 
• Enhanced Quality of Life: One of the mainstay efforts to improve the standard of living of individuals with disabilities is support for independent living. 
• Personal Development and Growth: Living independently with the help of SIL helps individuals with disabilities develop and grow as humans. 

Procedure to obtain independent living & daily core supports under NDIS

Are you ready to explore your options? Here’s how to begin:

• All NDIS participants with housing goals should obtain funding for support coordination. 
• Remember that short term accommodation (respite care) can be a great stepping stone.
• An occupational therapist assessment offers critical evidence for housing support.
