Supported Independent Living Broome

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of personalised support funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), designed to help people with a disability live more independently, either on their own or in a shared living arrangement. It focuses on building everyday skills and maintaining routines that enable greater autonomy and quality of life.

SIL support can include assistance with a range of daily tasks such as cooking meals, cleaning, personal care, and managing household responsibilities. The goal is to provide just the right level of help – enough to promote independence while ensuring participants feel safe, supported, and confident in their home environment.

Each SIL arrangement is tailored to the individual, ensuring that personalised support aligns with their lifestyle preferences, goals, and abilities. Whether living alone or with others, Supported Independent Living gives participants the opportunity to thrive in a setting that suits their needs.

EmpaCare offers a range of supported independent living and specialist disability accommodation options to suit different support needs and living preferences:

• Shared living – Suitable for individuals who enjoy a communal setting with consistent support. Residents may have their own bedroom while sharing living spaces and supports with others.
• Individual support in private accommodation – One-on-one help delivered in the person’s own home or a private rental, offering more privacy and flexibility.
• Purpose-built housing – Accommodation in supported independent living homes that meets accessibility standards, often suited to higher physical support needs.

All services are delivered by experienced support coordinator staff or an independent disability support worker, with a focus on developing daily living skills and promoting independence at each person’s pace. EmpaCare also works closely with individuals to make sure their independent disability services match their personal goals and lifestyle.

Supported Independent Living is more than just assistance at home – it’s about creating the right environment and providing the support services needed for participants to live with confidence and purpose.

EmpaCare’s SIL arrangements are built around each person’s goals, helping them make the most of their own space while staying connected to the world around them.

Our team provides day-to-day support that includes medication management, personal care, and help with household tasks. Just as importantly, we help participants build routines that promote wellbeing, independence, and connection.

We understand the importance of community participation, so we encourage and support individuals to engage in social activities, build friendships, and enjoy greater community access. This includes attending events, joining clubs, or simply enjoying time outdoors.

SIL also opens the door to specialist housing options designed to suit individual support needs, ensuring each participant feels safe, comfortable, and at home.

No matter the level of support required, EmpaCare is here to help individuals live more independently while staying connected to their community and living life on their own terms.
