You might be exploring a move, reviewing your current home support or wondering whether SIL applies to you. We can start by talking about what your day involves and where you need assistance.
You don’t need to choose the service name before asking a question. The important thing is understanding the actual support and the funding available.
Describe the day and night
Tell us about personal care, meals, household routines and any assistance needed overnight. Include how you communicate and the way you prefer someone to offer help.
If you already have assessments or current professional instructions relevant to the support, explain what is available. Share information with the person’s consent or appropriate authority when making a referral.
Understand SIL and visiting support
SIL is a specific NDIS home and living support for people needing a high level of assistance, including overnight. It is not the name for every visiting support arrangement.
If you need fewer hours for particular tasks, in-home support may be a different option to discuss. The NDIA decides funding, and our team checks the service we can practically provide.
Consider the household
The proposed home and any shared support affect planning. We need to understand individual needs, shared arrangements, privacy and the staff preparation required.
We don’t confirm a property or a particular roster just because an enquiry has been submitted. Housing and support have separate responsibilities and agreements.
Work through the next step together
Our full referral gathers participant, contact, support, funding and safety information. You can also call or email if you’d rather explain the request first.
The team reviews the information and discusses whether there are suitable workers, what else needs checking and what the proposed costs and timing would be. Ask questions before deciding on an agreement.
