What Our SIL Support Looks Like Day to Day

    Build real skills in cooking, cleaning, budgeting, personal care, and managing your time. We support you to do things yourself, not just do them for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About SIL in Cannington

  • Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that helps you live as independently as possible in a shared or individual home. In Cannington, SIL covers things like help with daily tasks, overnight support, building life skills, and connecting with your community. Funding is allocated through your NDIS plan under the Core Supports budget, specifically the "Assistance with Daily Life" category. Utmost Solutions WA provides SIL support across Cannington and surrounding suburbs, matching you with the right home and support team.
  • SIL funding is available to NDIS participants who require significant daily support to live independently. Eligibility is typically determined during your NDIS planning meeting or a Functional Capacity Assessment. Generally, if you need regular help with personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, or overnight supervision, you may qualify. If you are unsure about your eligibility, contact us and we can help you understand the process and connect you with a support coordinator who can assist with your planning review.
  • Yes. One of the key principles of NDIS SIL is choice and control. While we cannot guarantee a perfect match in every situation, Utmost Solutions WA takes a thoughtful approach to housemate matching. We consider factors like personality, interests, communication styles, support needs, and lifestyle preferences. We also involve you in the decision-making process, including home visits before you commit, so you can feel confident about the people you will be living with.
  • We provide SIL support across Perth's south-east corridor, including Cannington, Bentley, Beckenham, East Cannington, Queens Park, Maddington, Kenwick, Thornlie, Canning Vale, Ferndale, Lynwood, Langford, Welshpool, Victoria Park, Cloverdale, and Belmont. If your suburb is not listed, contact us as we may still be able to help or connect you with the right provider in your area.
  • The timeline depends on a few factors, including whether you already have SIL funding in your NDIS plan, whether suitable accommodation is available, and how quickly we can complete the matching and planning process. If you have approved funding and a home is available, the process can take as little as two to four weeks. If you need a new NDIS plan or are waiting for a property to become available, it may take longer. We keep you informed at every stage and work to minimise delays.
  • Every day is different because SIL is built around your goals and routine. A typical day might include morning support with personal care and breakfast, assistance getting to a day program or workplace, help with grocery shopping or cooking in the afternoon, and evening support with dinner and medication. Overnight, a sleepover support worker is available if needed. The key difference with SIL is that support is designed to help you do things yourself over time, not just do them for you.
  • Absolutely. You have the right to choose your NDIS provider, and switching is a straightforward process. If you already have SIL funding and a property, we can transition our support team into your current home with minimal disruption. We coordinate with you, your support coordinator, and your current provider to ensure a smooth handover. If you also want to change homes, we can help with that as part of the transition. The process typically takes two to three weeks from first contact to full transition.
  • SIL and SDA are different types of NDIS support. SDA refers to the physical housing itself — specially designed homes for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. SIL refers to the support services provided within a home, such as help with daily tasks, overnight assistance, and skill building. You can have SIL funding without SDA funding, and vice versa. Many NDIS participants in Cannington receive SIL support in standard rental properties or private homes, while SDA is only needed in specific circumstances assessed by the NDIA.
