In short

  • Live in a shared home with support day and night, in an established suburb you know.
  • Your own room, your own routine, housemates you choose to live with.
  • Gillies House has a vacancy now.
  • Funded by the NDIS.

What it is

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is help with daily life in your home, usually a home you share with other people with disability. The NDIS funds the support staff; you rent the home and run it together with your housemates and the team. At Prestige HCA, a SIL home means a small household, a staff team who stay, and house routines decided around the kitchen table by the people who live there. Your room, your way; your goals, your pace.

Where our homes are. We only provide homes in established suburbs, never in new estates or the outer fringe. Our promise is to help people stay in the communities and areas they've always called home: the same shops, the same faces, the same bus route.

A typical week

WeekdaysMorning routine with staff, then work, Group Activities or community access
EveningsCooking together, house time, your own plans
OvernightStaff on site every night
WeeklyHouse meeting; your own goals review with your key worker
MonthlyFamily and coordinator update, if you want one

Who it suits

Adults with SIL in their NDIS plan, or a review pending, who want to live with housemates in a supported home. We assess compatibility carefully, and current residents have a say.

How it's funded

NDIS-funded only. SIL funding in your plan pays for support; rent, board and household bills are paid by you, usually from the Disability Support Pension and Rent Assistance.

No pricing is published. A SIL quote is prepared for your plan after the meet and greet.

Our flagship home

Gillies House

A three-bedroom single-storey home in Fairfield, with one current housemate and an all-female staff team who have been with the house from the start. It is a home for women, and we are seeking a female participant for the current vacancy. Support is 1:1 or 1:2 depending on the time of day, with staff on site overnight. What makes it home rather than a facility: your own room set up your way, meals you help choose and cook, house meetings where decisions are made together, and a quiet street with the shops and bus a short walk away.

We are growing carefully, to two or three homes, so compatibility comes before speed. If nothing suits right now, register your interest and we'll contact you when a place opens.

Expression of interest

From enquiry to move-in

  1. Enquiry

    Call, send an expression of interest, or ask your support coordinator to. We talk about what you're looking for.

  2. Meet and greet

    You visit the home, meet the housemates and staff, and see the routine. Bring whoever you like.

  3. Trial stay

    A few days or overnights to see how it feels, for you and for the house.

  4. SIL quote

    We prepare a roster of care and quote for your plan, and work with your coordinator on the NDIA process.

  5. Move in

    A planned transition with your key worker, your things set up your way, and a review after the first month.

Common questions

What's the difference between SIL and SDA?

SIL is the support staff. SDA is specialist housing funded separately for people with very high needs. Prestige HCA offers both; see our SDA page and the SIL, SDA and ILO guide.

Can I choose who I live with?

Compatibility is decided together: you, the current housemates and the team. A trial stay comes before any decision.

How long does it take to move in?

Usually four to eight weeks from first enquiry, depending on your plan and the NDIA. We keep you updated at each step.
