What is the difference between SDA & SIL?

December 29, 2022

What is the difference between SIL & SDA?

Difference between SIL and SDA

Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is specifically designed disability housing for participants with high level care needs.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are the daily on-site supports services that assist individuals to live independently within SIL and SDA homes.

Difference between SIL and SDA homes

SDA homes must meet very specific building requirements, whereas SIL homes do not need to meet specific building requirements. There are four categories of SDA homes with different building requirements for each.

Difference between SDA providers and SIL providers

SDA providers acquire SDA properties by purchasing properties or working with investors.

SIL providers are the providers of supported independent living (SIL) onsite supports in SDA and SIL properties.

Both SDA and SIL providers are required to run an SDA property. Both SDA and SIL providers must be two separate entities so that SDA participants can freely change SIL supports without them being required to move house

Short-Term Accommodation (STA)

Take a break with peace of mind. STA provides temporary accommodation for respite. It’s a great way to reset, recharge, or explore a change in environment.

Medium-Term Accommodation (MTA)

Waiting for your permanent home? MTA is the perfect solution during transition periods. We offer a stable, supportive place to stay while your long-term living arrangements are being finalised.

Core Supports

We support participants with essential daily tasks, personal care, household tasks, community engagement, and general life skills development.
