SIL Provider Melbourne

Link Support Services provides Supported Independent Living support for NDIS participants in Melbourne who need help with daily routines, personal care, household tasks and building independence.

As a SIL provider in Melbourne, our focus is to provide respectful, safe and person-centred support that helps participants live with more confidence, choice and connection.

We support participants across Melbourne’s western suburbs, including Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit, Truganina, Hoppers Crossing, Wyndham Vale and surrounding areas.

What Is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living, also known as SIL, is support for NDIS participants who need help with daily living tasks.

SIL can support participants to live more independently in a shared home, individual living arrangement or supported living environment, depending on their needs and NDIS plan.

SIL may include support with:

• Personal care

• Daily routines

• Meal preparation

• Household tasks

• Medication prompts

• Building life skills

• Community access

• Overnight support where required

• Support to build independence

SIL is not just about accommodation. It is about the daily support a participant receives to live safely and more independently.

Person-Centred SIL Support

Every participant has different needs, routines and goals.

At Link Support Services, we take time to understand what matters to each person. We work with participants, families, carers and support networks to provide support that is respectful and practical.

Our SIL support focuses on:

• Choice and control

• Safety and wellbeing

• Respect and dignity

• Daily living skills

• Building independence

• Clear communication

• Support matched to participant goals

We believe support should be delivered in a way that helps participants feel comfortable, included and respected.

Daily Living Support

SIL support can help participants with everyday tasks that are important for a safe and comfortable routine.

This may include:

• Morning and evening routines

• Personal hygiene

• Dressing and grooming

• Meal planning and cooking

• Cleaning and laundry

• Grocery shopping

• Attending appointments

• Community participation

• Developing independent living skills

Our goal is to support participants while encouraging independence wherever possible.

Building Confidence and Independence

Good SIL support should help participants build confidence, not take control away from them.

We support participants to develop daily living skills at their own pace. This may include learning new routines, becoming more involved in household tasks, connecting with the community or making choices about daily life.

We aim to create support that feels empowering, not limiting.
