SIL/SDA/MTA/Respite Housing in Queensland and Tasmania - Supported Independent Living
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that helps people with disability live as independently as possible, in a shared home, with housemates, and with trained support workers available around the clock.
SIL housing is not just about having a roof over your head. It covers the daily support provided inside the home: personal care, meal preparation, medication management, household tasks, and skill-building. The NDIS funds the support services, while rent and living expenses are typically covered through the Disability Support Pension (DSP) and Rent Assistance.
Alongside SIL, Bharosa also supports participants through Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), and respite (Short Term Accommodation) options across Queensland and Tasmania. Whatever your home and living goals look like, we can help you find the right arrangement.
Bharosa Community Services delivers Supported Independent Living under Registration Group 0138. We meet all NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements. Our team complies fully with the latest SIL Practice Standards. We offer transparent claiming processes aligned with current NDIS pricing guidelines.

What's Included in Bharosa's SIL Support in Brisbane
Our Supported Independent Living services are built around what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all care package. When you move into a Bharosa SIL home, your support plan is tailored to your NDIS goals, your daily routine, and your preferences.
Personal Care and Daily Living
Assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene. We support you to maintain your routine and build confidence in daily self-care.
24/7 Support and Supervision
Our support workers are available around the clock. Whether you need overnight active support or sleepover staff, we roster the right team so you always have someone you trust nearby.
Meal Preparation and Nutrition
Support with planning, shopping, and cooking meals that suit your dietary needs and preferences. We also help with budgeting and grocery management.
Household Assistance
Help with cleaning, laundry, garden maintenance, and keeping your home safe and comfortable — so you can focus on the things that matter to you.
Medication Management
Trained staff to assist with medication reminders, administration, and coordination with your health team or GP.
Complex and Clinical Nursing Care
For participants with high or complex support needs, our qualified nursing staff provide wound care, health monitoring, and clinical support as part of your SIL package.
Community Access and Social Connection
We encourage and support you to stay connected — attending events, visiting family, joining community activities, and building friendships in Brisbane and the local area.
Skill Building and Independence
Our support workers actively help you build the skills to live more independently over time — from cooking to budgeting to public transport navigation.
Home and Living Options Available Through Bharosa
We understand that every participant has different needs, goals, and circumstances. That’s why Bharosa offers multiple ways to access home and living support across Queensland and Tasmania:
Move Into a Bharosa SIL Home
We have current SIL housing vacancies in Morayfield, Queensland. Our home is fully accessible, well-maintained, and ready for move-in. You'll be joining a supported household with staff you can rely on from day one.
Support in an SDA Property
Already connected with a Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) provider in Brisbane or South East Queensland? Bharosa can deliver your SIL support services in your chosen SDA home. We work alongside leading SDA providers across the Moreton Bay region and Greater Brisbane.
Support in Your Own Home
If you live in a private rental or family home and have SIL funding in your NDIS plan, our support workers can come to you. You don't need to move to access quality SIL support in Brisbane.
Who is Eligible for SIL Funding?
SIL funding is available to NDIS participants who require significant, ongoing support to live safely and work toward greater independence at home. Eligibility is assessed by the NDIS based on your individual needs, goals, and evidence from allied health professionals such as your Occupational Therapist.
You are generally eligible for SIL if you:
- Need regular daily support at home that cannot reasonably be provided informally
- Have disability-related support needs that are consistent with the NDIS reasonable and necessary criteria
- Are under 65 years of age and an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or holder of a protected special category visa
- Live in Australia
The NDIS approves SIL funding based on a Roster of Care (ROC) submitted by your provider, which outlines the support hours, staffing ratios, and care requirements for your living situation.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can help you understand your options and work with your support coordinator to build the case for SIL funding in your plan review.

Frequently Asked Questions About SIL Housing in Brisbane
SIL housing refers to shared or individual accommodation where an NDIS participant receives Supported Independent Living support services. The NDIS funds the daily support — personal care, household assistance, 24/7 staffing — while the participant typically covers rent through the Disability Support Pension and Rent Assistance.
The cost depends on your support needs, the number of housemates, and whether active overnight or sleepover support is required. For eligible NDIS participants, SIL support costs are funded through your NDIS plan under Core Supports: Assistance with Daily Life. Your NDIS planner or support coordinator can help clarify what’s funded in your specific plan.
SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) refers to the physical property — the bricks and mortar — designed for people with high support needs. SIL refers to the support services delivered inside that home. Some participants have both SDA and SIL funding; others have SIL only and live in standard rental properties or Bharosa-owned homes.
The NDIS pays for the support services (staff, care, supervision). The participant typically pays rent from their Disability Support Pension, with Rent Assistance often available through Centrelink. Bharosa can walk you through exactly what to expect financially before you make any decisions.
