FAQs About The Thomastown, VIC HPS

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL) at the Thomastown accommodation?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support service that helps eligible participants live as independently as possible while receiving assistance with everyday activities. At this Thomastown accommodation, I-Help Disability Services provides SIL support rather than the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) itself. Depending on the participant’s approved NDIS plan and individual needs, SIL support may include personal care, household tasks, meal preparation, medication assistance, community participation, and the development of independent living skills. The property also includes a dedicated Onsite Overnight Assistance (OOA) room to support appropriate overnight arrangements.

Who is eligible for this Fully Accessible SDA home?

This home is designed for NDIS participants with Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding in the Fully Accessible design category whose disability-related needs require an accessible home environment. Participants may also require Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding if they need regular assistance with daily living. Eligibility and suitability depend on the participant’s NDIS plan, funding, functional needs, and personal goals. I-Help Disability Services can work with participants, families, support coordinators, and allied health professionals to help determine whether the property and available supports are an appropriate match.
