    Supported Independent Living (SIL) in South Hedland

    Supported Independent Living (SIL) in South Hedland

    STARR Care provides Supported Independent Living (SIL) services in South Hedland and across the Pilbara region, helping NDIS participants live as independently as possible while receiving the support they need. SIL is designed for individuals who require ongoing assistance with daily tasks while living in shared or individual housing arrangements. Our SIL services are designed to promote choice, confidence, and comfort while ensuring the right level of daily support is always available.

    We provide individualised, goal-focused support that helps participants manage everyday living tasks, personal care, and community participation in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment. Our Supported Independent Living services also work closely with daily living support to help participants manage personal care, household tasks, and everyday routines with confidence.

    What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

    Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS support designed for people with higher support needs who require significant assistance from support workers throughout the day and week. SIL helps participants with daily tasks within their home while building skills and independence.

    SIL can include support with personal care, cooking, cleaning, routines, supervision, safety, skill development and other everyday activities based on a participant's individual needs and NDIS plan. SIL is the support provided by workers; it does not cover rent, groceries, utilities or the cost of the home itself.

    • Specialised Support

      We provide personalised support based on your individual needs, goals and level of assistance required at home.

    • Holistic Approach

      Our SIL support focuses on more than daily assistance. We help participants build skills, confidence and greater independence in everyday life.

    How Supported Independent Living Helps Build Independence

    SIL support is designed to help participants manage everyday activities while developing the skills and confidence needed for greater independence. Depending on individual needs and NDIS funding, support may include personal care, meal preparation, household tasks, developing routines, supervision, personal safety, skill development and support to attend appointments or appropriate community activities.
