Supported Independent Living (SIL) - Live independently at home
Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are personally designed to provide support to participants to live as independently as possible. We have multiple houses across Melbourne and Queensland which our clients can choose from, and we will match clients together based on age, gender preferences, personality etc. Our clients have choice and control at every step of the process, so they can decide where they want to live, who they live with, and who will support them. Our SIL houses are a 1:1 or 1:2 ratios, depending on the needs of each client. 24/7 assistance is available at all our SIL houses.
